Effect of some antineoplasics on metabolic heme pathway
1. 1. The porphyrinogenic ability of several antineoplasics used in the therapy of the different cancers was evaluated. The action of cyclophosphamide, busulfan and 5-fluorouracil on the amount and nature of the accumulated hepatic porphyrins and on the activity of δ-aminolaevulinate synthase(ALA-S)...

The action of cyclophosphamide, busulfan and 5-fluorouracil on the amount and nature of the accumulated hepatic porphyrins and on the activity of δ-aminolaevulinate synthase(ALA-S). were estimated at different doses and times of drug treatment in 17-day-old chick embryos. 2. 2.
