Abstract excerpt
3-Aminobenzamide is commonly assumed to be a specific inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. However, it also inhibits de novo synthesis of DNA purines at concentrations of 5 mM and above. A mutant cell line that lacks the ability to incorporate exogenous purines is therefore exceptionally sensitive to the toxic effects of 3-aminobenzamide. This finding has implications for the underlying mechanism of...
