Abstract excerpt
Batracylin (8-aminoisoindolo[1,2-b]quinazolin-12(10 H)-one; BAT) is a heterocyclic amine that exhibits antitumor activity in a number of in vivo and in vitro models. The acetyl product has been implicated in BAT toxicity in animals, cells, and bacteria. The ability of human N-acetyltransferase (NAT) to form this product was investigated. Nine human liver samples were analyzed for NAT1 and NAT2 genotypes. Seven of...
