title: Antimutagenic activity of afobazole in various regimens of treatment.
abstract: The influence of a new 2-mercaptobenzimidazole derivative afobazole on cytogenetic effects of dioxidine and cyclophosphamide was studied by counting chromosome aberrations in bone marrow cells of C57Bl/6 mice. Afobazole (1-100 mg/kg perorally) exhibited antimutagenic activity determined by its antioxidant properties. This activity depended on the dose and treatment schedule.
