Abstract

We studied the effect of 3, 6-bis(5-chloro-2-piperidinyl)-2, 5-piperazinedione (BCP) on various parameters of the replication cycle and cell growth on monolayer cultures of Chinese hamster ovary cells. The results indicated that BCP had no effect on the G1-S transition or the passage of cells from metaphase to G1. However, BCP prolonged S-and G2-phases because of its retarding effect on DNA synthesis. BCP was more toxic to Sphase cells than to G1 or mitotic cells. As with other alkylating agents, chromosome damage due to BCP could be seen only in cells that had undergone DNA replication after exposure to the drug.
