Abstract excerpt
The biological effects of the interaction of methoxyamine (MX) with apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites produced in CHO cells by treatment with alkylating agents were examined. A decrease in cytotoxicity was observed after a 10 min treatment with the SN1 alkylating agents ethylnitrosourea (ENU), N-ethyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (ENNG) and N-methyl-nitrosourea when MX was present in the culture medium. Furthermore...
