title: The in vitro unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) assay in rat primary hepatocytes: evaluation of 24 drug candidates.
abstract: The in vitro unscheduled DNA synthesis assay (UDS) is part of the routine genetic toxicology screening at The Upjohn Company. The purpose of this paper is to report results for 24 drug candidates which were tested as coded compounds. These compounds are very diverse in chemical structure and represent classes of compounds selected because of biological activity in a variety of preliminary drug efficacy screens. None of the compounds reported here produced an increase in UDS, and therefore, the UDS results with these materials do not suggest potential for mutagenesis or carcinogenesis.
