Abstract excerpt
N-nitrosooxprenolol (NO-oxprenolol) might be formed in the stomach of patients taking the beta-adrenergic blocking drug, oxprenolol. This nitroso derivative has previously been shown to induce DNA damage and repair in both rat and human cultured hepatocytes. The results of the present study show that in the presence of co-cultured rat hepatocytes, 0.03 mM NO-oxprenolol produced a significant increase in the...
