Abstract excerpt
The ability of the DNA intercalator m-AMSA to produce protein-associated DNA-strand breaks in normal, xeroderma pigmentosum and ataxia-telangiectasia fibroblasts was compared with m-AMSA uptake and cytotoxicity. No differences were detected between the cytotoxicity and DNA breakage produced by this antineoplastic acridine derivative among these three human cell lines. Uptake studies confirmed that no actual...
