Abstract

Treatment of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma bearing mice with DGA, the amide of diazoacetyl-glycine, leads to an inhibition of labelled thymidine incorporation into DNA of the tumour cells. This inhibition is not due to impairment of the nucleoside transport into the cell or to a modification in the activity of thymidine kinase. A possible explanation of the DGA effects resides in its partial inhibition of DNA polymerase and in its ability to alter the template activity of native DNA.
