Myosmine is a minor tobacco alkaloid which may act to possess genotoxic effects on cells through DNA damage by pyridyloxobutylation. Studies indicate that in cells Myosmine can be activated into reactive intermediates by H2O2 (sc-203336) and 3-morpholinosydnonimine (sc-200339). It is known that under acidic pH Myosmine undergoes a ring-chain tautomerism and is present in the amino-keto form. Furthermore, Myosmine is an ideal tool to use to monitor the effects of tobacco smoke on cells.
