Abstract excerpt
To study the genotoxic activity of Decemtione (Imidan), this substance was subjected to a series of tests. After preliminary cytotoxicity testing, the capacity of Decemtione to damage human DNA was determined by alkaline elution of DNA and DNA unwinding. Both tests gave positive results, suggesting that Decemtione was able to induce single-strand breaks in DNA. This capacity was higher in the absence and lower in...
