Abstract

Cytogenetic effects produced in bone marrow of mice by various doses of misonidazole (MISO, 100 to 1000 mg/kg bodyweight) were studied by assaying the induction of micronuclei (MN) and chromosomal aberrations. Misonidazole increased the frequency of both micronuclei and chromosomal aberrations over normal at 24 h after treatment, however, the values were statistically significant from normal only at drug doses above 250 mg/kg. The increase was proportional to the drug dose with a best fit to linear quadratic model for MN induction. For chromosomal aberrations the data fitted eqully well to linear as well as linear quadratic models.
