Abstract excerpt
Fluoroquinolones are antibiotics with a potential clinical side effect of phototoxicity and some are suspected to enhance UVA-induced tumorigenesis. The present study was designed to evaluate the recombinogenic and mutagenic potential of two highly photoreactive compounds, lomefloxacin and BAYy3118 when exposed to complete UVA (320-400 nm). In order to possibly increase the sensitivity of the test, we used a...
