Gene Information

human ... CYP1A2(1544)

General description

Chemical structure: quinolone

Application

Pipemidic acid is used to study DNA damage and mutagenic activity. It has been used to induce articular lesions in the neonatal mouse and is used to study human lymphocyte blastogenesis and γ-interferon production .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pipemidic acid modulates (inhibits) bacterial DNA gyrase-dependent processes such as DNA polymerization, (ATP-dependent) DNA supercoiling, and chromosome fragmentation. Pipemidic acid has been shown to induce inhibition of lymphocyte DNA synthesis.

Analysis Note

Very slightly soluble in water. It dissolves in diluted solutions of acids and of alkali hydroxides.
