A group of bis-cationic imidazo[1,2-a]pyridinium salts and related compounds, some of which exhibit in vivo trypanocidal activity, have been investigated for induction of petite mutagenesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. All of the compounds which are active trypanocides induce mutagenesis. There appears to be a correlation between trypanocidal activity and mutagenic activity which may have its structural origin in the spatial separation of the cationic centers.
一组双阳离子咪唑并[1,2 - a]吡啶鎓盐及相关化合物,其中一些在体内表现出杀锥虫活性,已针对其在酿酒酵母中诱导小菌落突变进行了研究。所有具有杀锥虫活性的化合物都会诱导突变。杀锥虫活性和诱变活性之间似乎存在相关性,这可能在结构上源于阳离子中心的空间分离。
