Abstract
Cells of the Chinese hamster strain C-125 were treated for different time intervals with H 33258, a bibenzimidazole derivative. The same compound was used to stain fixed cells of the same strain. H 33258 induced in cells in culture specific areas of reduced spiralization on the metaphase chromosomes of some cells. These probably correspond to DNA segments rich in A-T bases interspersed along the chromosomes. Probably H 33258 acts during S period of cell cycle. The banding obtained by staining with H 33258 is similar to that induced by quinacrine dihydrochloride but shows a better resolution.Entities:
