Abstract excerpt
Furazolidone (FZD) is an antimicrobial agent that has been shown to have mutagenic, genotoxic and potentially carcinogenic properties when tested in a variety of systems in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we investigated FZD's DNA damaging effect in human hepatoma cells aiming at further defining the molecular mechanism of FZD's cytotoxicity. Addition of FZD resulted in cell growth suppression and cell cycle...
