title: Inhibition of Deamination of Arabinosylcytosine (NSC-63878) by Rhodium(II) Acetate.
abstract: The nobel metal "cage" complex, rhodium(II) acetate, was found to inhibit the deamination of the fraudulent nucleoside, arabinosylcytosine. Potent inhibition of a purified cytidine deaminase from mouse kidney was observed when either cytidine or arabinosylcytosine was used as substrate.
