Induction of mitotic crossing-over by the topoisomerase II poison DACA (N-[2-dimethylamino)ethyl]acridine-4-carboxamide) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Mutation research - 1 Oct 1993

Ferguson L R, Turner P M, Baguley B C

Abstract excerpt

The antitumor agent DACA (N-[2-dimethylamino)ethyl]acridine-4-carboxamide) a new DNA intercalating topoisomerase II poison, was distinguishable from clinical topoisomerase poisons (amsacrine, daunorubicin, doxorubicin and etoposide) in its induction of aberrant colonies in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae D5. It was not only more recombinogenic, but was recombinogenic at non-toxic drug concentrations. DACA at...
