title: Influence of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis inhibitors on the repair of sublethal and potentially lethal damage in gamma-irradiated mammalian cells.
abstract: The influence of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis inhibitors on mammalian cell radiosensitivity was investigated. Four different inhibitors were studied: 3-methoxybenzamide, 3-aminobenzamide, 6-aminonicotinamide and nicotinamide. When exponentially growing or plateau phase cells are incubated before irradiation with non-toxic concentrations of these compounds, their radiosensitivity is enhanced except in the case of nicotinamide. The poly(ADP-ribose) inhibitors do not modify the repair of sublethal damage, but totally suppress the repair of potentially lethal damage, as shown by the survival of CHO cells and of a human osteosarcoma cell line.
