## Abstract Earlier studies identified testes‐specific protease 50 (__TSP50__), which encodes a threonine protease, and showed that it was abnormally reactivated in many breast cancer biopsies. Further, it was shown to be negatively regulated by the __p53__ gene. However, little is known about the

Abstract
The highest concentration of 9‐hydroxybenfluron (HBF) tested, namely 4·05 μmol1^−1^, induced immediate cytotoxic effects which were manifested by total inhibition of cell proliferation after only 24 h of culture. In a certain proportion of the cells cytolytic effects were observed at longer times of culture. Lower concentrations of HBF induced toxicity that was concentration‐ and time‐dependent.
The toxic effect appeared to occur in two phases. Cells, which had lost their ability to divide, did not stop their metabolism in which glutamine was the main source of energy. The results suggest that HBF primarily interferes with one of the phases of the cell cycle and only secondarily influences energy processes. Because benfluron (BF) and HBF have similar effects, it is suggested that the cytotoxicity of BF can be ascribed to the influence of its metabolite, HBF.
