Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9838336A1] A method is disclosed for the discovery of the site of action of xenobiotic compounds. The method involves subjecting a detector cell comprising a genotoxic-sensitive promoter operably linked to a luminescent reporter gene complex. Exposure of the detector bacteria to compounds that are genotoxic results in an increase in luminescence. Such compounds are grouped and may be analyzed for pharmaceutical activity. Exposure of the detector bacteria to active xenobiotics that are not genotoxic results in inhibition of bioluminescence or stable luminescence. Subjection of the detector bacteria to a screen such as nutritional reversal or genetic titration reveals the site of action of the compound.
