The genotoxic effects of N-nitroso-N-methylurea (MNU) and acetone oxime (ACOX) were tested in the Somatic Mutation and Recombination Test (SMART) in Drosophila melanogaster. We have performed the same assay on transgenic flies expressing the human gene encoding a glutathione S-transferase
The hepatocarcinogenicity of acetoxime has been tentatively linked with its metabolic oxidation to the potent genotoxicant and carcinogen propane 2-nitronate (P2-N). In order to test the hypothesis that acetoxime is metabolized to P2-N, the oxime (20 mM) was incubated with
The presence of cis-configured exchangeable ligands has long been considered a prerequisite for antitumor activity of platinum complexes, but over the past few years, several examples violating this structure-activity relationship have been recognized. We report here on studies with the

Acetoxime was tested for carcinogenicity by chronic administration in the drinking water to male and female outbred MRC-Wistar rats. The dose of 1.0 g/liter was administered 5 days/week for 18 months (total dose, 6.2--7.0 g/rat). The test compound induced benign
The industrial solvent 2-nitropropane (2-NP) is a genotoxic hepatocarcinogen in rats. The genotoxicity of the compound in rats has been attributed to sulfotransferase-mediated formation of DNA-reactive nitrenium ions from the anionic form of 2-NP, propane 2-nitronate (P2N). Whether human sulfotransferases
