Abstract: | Depsipeptide (FK228 or FR901228) was evaluated in the mouse bone marrow micronucleus test for its possible protective effect against chromosomal damage induced by benzo(a)pyrene and cyclophosphamide. Three doses of depsipeptide (0.5, 1, and 1.5 mg/kg body weight) were given intravenously to mice for 7 consecutive days prior to administration of genotoxins under investigation. All the three doses of depsipeptide were effective in exerting a protective effect against both benzo(a)pyrene and cyclophosphamide. A significant suppression (34.9% to 67.5%) in the micronuclei formation induced by benzo(a)pyrene and (25.7% to 71.5%) cyclophosphamide was observed following intravenous administration of depsipeptide at doses of 0.5, 1, and 1.5 mg/kg in Swiss albino mice. |
