Abstract
The influence of a new 2-mercaptobenzimidazole derivative afobazole on cytogenetic effects of dioxidine and cyclophosphamide was studied by counting chromosome aberrations in bone marrow cells of C57B1/6 mice. Afobazole (1–100 mg/kg perorally) exhibited antimutagenic activity determined by its antioxidant properties. This activity depended on the dose and treatment shedule.
