Hypoxia-a hallmark of solid tumors-dramatically impairs radiotherapy, one of the most common anticancer modalities. The adverse effect of the low-oxygen state can be eliminated by the concomitant use of a hypoxic cell radiosensitizer. In the present paper, we show that

1. The results of this study have contributed to the definition of three categories of chemical inhibitors of DNA replication in mammalian cells. 2. Inhibitors of replicon cluster initiation [4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (4-NQO), etoposide (VP-16), teniposide (VM-26), amsacrine (m-AMSA), N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrozoguanidine (MNNG), cis-Pt(II)diammine
Proliferating plant cells treated during the late S period with 5-aminouracil (AU), give the typical response that DNA-damaging agents induce, characterized by: an important mitotic delay, and a potentiation of the chromosome damage by caffeine post-treatment. The study of labelled

The influence of 5-amino uracil (5-AU) was investigated on the cell cycle of log growth and division-synchronized Tetrahymena pyriformis GL. The division index of log growth phase Tetrahymena was suppressed by 50% after 40 min in 8 mM 5-AU. Cells
Meristematic cells of Allium cepa were treated with 5-amino-uracil (5-AU) while incorporating 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) into DNA until complete inhibition of mitosis was obtained. The pattern of BrdU substitution in interphase nuclei detected by FPG technique in the cells so treated
