title: A novel class of antitumour agents. III. Morphological findings in treated cells.
abstract: The findings of intracellular light-reflecting droplets and clotted mitoses after incubation of Walker and HeLa cells, human lymphocytes and rat fibroblasts with the synthetic amino steroid, 2beta, 16beta-dipiperidino-5alpha-androstane-3-alpha,17beta-diol dipivalate (DAP) were examined in detail. An interaction of DAP with the cellular membranes in all stages of cell life, with the exception of the Go-phase, is postulated.
