title: Effect of sodium cis-beta-4-methoxybenzoyl-beta-bromacrylate (Cytembena) on HeLa cell kinetics.
abstract: The treatment of HeLa cells with various concentrations of sodium beta-4-methoxybenzoyl-beta-bromacrylate (Cytembena) results in inhibition of growth and modification of cell cycle distribution. These phenomena were observed at concentrations between 7.5 x 10(-5) and 2.5 x 10(-5) M. The estimation of DNA content by flow cytometry showed an important shift in the distribution of cycling cells with a relative decrease of G0 + G1 cells and a striking accumulation of G2 + M cells. According to our experimental conditions, the blocking up in G2 + M is irreversible at 7.5 and 5 x 10(-5) M.
