Abstract excerpt
A crude preparation of 2-phenyladenosine was found to be mutagenic in the Ames Salmonella assay. In the purification of this preparation, it was revealed that 2-phenyladenosine itself was nonmutagenic but that 2-(m- and p-nitrophenyl)-adenosines (5m,p) contaminating the sample were the mutagenic principles. A structure-activity relationship study was carried out, and it was found that 5p,...
