Effect of 3-Amino-1,2,4-Triazole on the Synthesis of Riboflavin

Abstract: The production of riboflavin by Eremothecium ashbyii is appreciably reduced by 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole at concentrations of inhibitor which do not inhibit growth. Corn and pea leaf tissues which are albinistic as a consequence of treatment with this compound have a greatly lowered riboflavin content.

“…These observations may be interpreted as evidence either A, that amitrole is a general inhibitor of purine utilization or B. that amitrole inhibits the biosynthesis of purines. The first hypothesis draws support from the evidence that amitrole probably inhibits biosynthesis of histidine (13), riboflavin (21), and possibly nucleic acids (25) and from the inhibition of 4-aminoimidazole hydrolase. an enzyme involved in purine catabolism (19).…”
