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

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

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
