Ribosomal RNA synthesis was selectively inhibited in HeLa cells by lucanthone, a clinically useful schistosomicide which shares many of the properties of Actinomycin D. Synthesis of DNA-like RNA continued during complete inhibition of ribosomal RNA synthesis. Under these conditions newly synthesized

## Abstract Follicular fluid aspirated from large cow follicles inhibits endogenous, DNA‐dependent RNA polymerase activity in Yoshida ascites cells. The inhibitory component of follicular fluid is probably a protein and appears to affect specifically the activity of the nucleoplasmic polymerase II.
## Abstract Spleen cells cultured release proteins into the culture medium, some of which shows both binding activity to single stranded DNA (ss‐DNA) and inhibitory activity to ^3^H‐thymidine incorporation into cells. The inhibitory protein of DNA synthesis was purified to near homogeneity by ammon
## Abstract Aflatoxin is a potent hepatocarcinogen. Biochemically the short‐term action which seems to be the most important is an inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis. Injection of low doses (from 500 to 1,000 μg/kg) made it possible to modulate the different inhibitions induced by aflatoxin. The
The treatment of choice for patients infected chronically with HCV is the combination of IFN-alpha and ribavirin. Monotherapy with ribavirin leads to a clinical and histological improvement, but its exact mechanism of action is unknown. Therefore, the effect of ribavirin on synthesis of inflammatory
