The incorporation of [3H]thymidine into DNA was increased in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated human lymphocytes exposed to four of the new quinolone derivatives (ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, and A 56620) at concentrations achievable in clinical situations. However, proliferation of phytohemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes was not influenced by ciprofloxacin at concentrations of 0.5 to 10 micrograms/ml.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
