Abstract
Dibutyl phthalate induced topoisomerase Ⅰ mediated DNA relaxation comparable to that of camptothecin, and topoisomerase Ⅱ mediated DNA relaxation equipotent to that of 4'-(9-acridinylamino) methanesulfon-m-anisidide (m-AMSA). The relaxation activities of dibutyl phthalate were dose-de-pendent and nearly as potent as those of camptothecin and m-AMSA.
