title: 3-Aminobenzamide does not alter DNA repair in human fibroblasts through modulation of deoxynucleoside triphosphate pools.
abstract: 3-Aminobenzamide does not deplete cellular purine deoxynucleoside triphosphate pools as do the structurally-related ribonucleotide reductase inhibitors, the hydroxy- and amino-substituted benzohydroxamic acids. Thus, the previously reported ability of 3-aminobenzamide to inhibit de novo synthesis of DNA purines does not appear to be due to a direct effect on pools via inhibition of ribonucleotide reductase. The enhancement rather than inhibition by 3-aminobenzamide of DNA repair in the present studies, however, leaves open the possibility that pool modulation may play a role in cell systems where repair inhibitory effects are seen.
