Catalytic inhibitors of topoisomerase II are DNA‐damaging agents: induction of chromosomal damage by merbarone and ICRF‐187
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Merbarone is a catalytic inhibitor of topoisomerase II (topo II) that has been proposed to act primarily by blocking topo II-mediated DNA cleavage without stabilizing DNA-topo II-cleavable complexes. In this study merbarone was used as a model compound to investigate the genotoxic effects of catalytic inhibitors of topo II. The clastogenic properties of merbarone were evaluated using in vitro and in vivo...
