In this study the clastogenic effect of pyrimethamine (Daraprim), a folic acid antagonist used for the treatment of toxoplasmosis and malaria on human chromosomes, was investigated. Pyrimethamine was added to in vitro lymphocyte cultures at six different concentrations: 0.05 (normal therapeutic dose
Some chemotherapeutic approaches have proposed the use of antioxidants such as vitamin C (VC) to minimize the cytotoxicity and damage induced in normal tissue by antitumor agents that produce free radicals. Nevertheless, VC can also be cytotoxic, genotoxic, and harmful when combined with antitumor a
Antitubercular drugs in general are given in various combinations, one being isoniazid and thiacetazone. In the present study, was evaluated the in vivo chromosome-damaging effects of a combination of these two drugs in 72 h lymphocyte cultures. Chromosome aberrations were significantly increased in
