Suppression of furylfuramide-induced SOS response by acetophenones using Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002 umu test

摘要

The recently isolated paeonol (2-hydroxy-4-methoxyacetophenone), as one of the antimutagenic compounds from Discorea japonica, was used as a lead compound for detailed structure-activity relationship studies. Nine acetophenones (2-hydroxy-4-methoxy, 2-hydroxy-5-methoxy 2-hydroxy-6-methoxy, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy, o-methoxy, m-methoxy, p-methoxy, and 2,5-dimethoxyacetophenone and acetophenone) were investigated for their ability of suppression of furylfuramide-induced SOS response using Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002 in the umu test, against the mutagen, 2-(2-furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)acrylamide (furylfuramide). The results showed that 2-hydroxy-6-methoxyacetophenone displayed the strongest activity (EC50 = 0.6 mu mol/mL), and a hydroxyl group at C-2 is necessary feature for acetophenone derivatives to show the suppressive effects of f'urylfuramide-induced SOS response.
