Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder with no conclusive remedy. , found in , may reduce brain inflammation by targeting tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF), implicated in AD pathogenesis. Metoserpate, a synthetic compound, may inhibit TNF.

This has the potential to increase mutagenesis and the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Here, we have examined nucleoside analogues (NAs) commonly used in anti-viral and anti-cancer therapies for potential effects on mutagenesis in , using the rifampicin mutagenicity assay.
