Zur Hemmwirkung von Proflavin auf den Einbau von DNS-, RNS- und Proteinvorstufen im Hamstermelanom

Inhibitory effects of proflavine on the incorporation of DNA, RNA, and protein precursors in hamster melanoma

Summary

Proflavine inhibits in vitro and in vivo the incorporation of precursors of nucleic acids and proteins in the hamster melanoma A Mel 3. This effect is particularly evident for tumour mitochondria and seems to be a specific phenomenon.

Zusammenfassung

Proflavin hemmt in vitro und in vivo den Einbau von Nucleinsäure- und Proteinvorstufen in Zellkernen und Mitochondrien des Hamstermelanoms A Mel 3. Diese Hemmung ist bei Tumormitochondrien besonders deutlich und sehr wahrscheinlich ein spezifisches Phänomen.
