Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To study the genotoxicity of cefuroxime lactone, a kind of impurity in cefuroxime sodium, and to provide experimental basis for the toxicological safety evaluation of cefuroxime sodium. METHODS: A set of efficient and convenient genetic toxicity tests were used to evaluate the genotoxicity of cefuroxime lactone, focusing on gene mutation, chromosomal aberration, DNA damage and repair. RESULTS: (1) Ames...
