โœฆ Synopsis

The mitochondrial mutation petite was induced in yeast cells by ethidium bromide (EB), Adriamycin (ADR) and 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (NQO). In the presence of aspirin in concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 mg/ml, the mutagenicity of EB and ADR was reversed but petite induction by NQO was unaffected. At these concentrations, aspirin also reversed mitochondrial inhibition by oligomycin, a non-mutagenic inhibitor of the organellar ATPase complex. Cells grown in the presence of aspirin alone showed a significantly higher rate of oxygen uptake than untreated control cultures when the drug concentration ranged from 0.05 to 1.0 mg/ml. At concentrations of 2 mg/ml and above, aspirin inhibited mitochondrial respiration.

2,6-diaminpurine (DAP) selectively inhibited mitochondrial protein synthesis in yeast cells with concomitant failure of cells to grow in non-fermentable (yeast extract, glycerol) medium. The selectivity was pronounced in all strains tested (15) nearly all of which were able to grow in yeast extract,
