Myosmine (3-(1-pyrrolin-2-yl)pyridine) is a minor tobacco alkaloid widely occurring in food products of plant and animal origin. Myosmine expresses significant genotoxic effects in human target cells of carcinogenesis. After nitrosation and/or peroxidation, myosmine gives rise to reactive pyridyloxobutylating species which are capable of forming pyridyloxobutylated DNA adducts.

Sample Use Guides

Myosmine (10-50mg/kg) produced time- and dose-dependent patterns of effects on locomotor activity in rats. Wistar rats received a single i.p. injection of 19 mg/ kg of myosmine and an oral dose of 190 mg/kg by gavage.
Route of Administration: Other
Possible genotoxic effects of myosmine were studied in human lymphocytes and nasal mucosal cells using the alkaline single cell microgel electrophoresis (Comet) assay. DNA single strand breaks, alkali labile sites and incomplete excision repair sites were expressed using the Olive tail moment (OTM). One hour incubation with myosmine at 0, 5, 10, 25 and 50 mM induced a low but significantly dose-dependent increase of DNA migration from 1.29 +/- 0.13 to 18.25 +/- 1.59 (OTM, mean +/- S.E., N=11) in lymphocytes. In nasal mucosal cells a similar although somewhat less extensive DNA damage from 1.17 +/- 0.12 to 21.67 +/- 2.97 (OTM, mean +/- S.E., N=10-11) was obtained after 1 h incubation with myosmine at 0, 10, 25, 50 and 100 mM. After prolonged incubation of human lymphocytes with 10mM myosmine for 1, 3, 6, and 24 h, a significant time-dependent increase of DNA migration from 3.45 +/- 0.43 to 57.77 +/- 8.24 (OTM, mean +/- S.E., N=4) was observed. Our data indicate that myosmine expresses significant genotoxic effects in human target cells of carcinogenesis
