“ Cysteine pretreatment yielded weak protection against the effects of bleomycin , but posttreatment caused a mild potentiation of the clastogenic effect of BLM without altering the cell cycle kinetics.”
“In this context, an action of cysteine as a reducing agent on BLM is suggested.”
“As expected on this basis, the diamine WR‐1065 is a more effective potentiator of BLM than is the monoamine CSM, whereas cysteine and N‐acetylcysteine (NAC), which lack a net positive charge, potentiate BLM only weakly.”
