Increasing DNase I activity after exposure of isolated DNA to halothane.

Reitz M , Knitza R , Lanz E .


???displayArticle.abstract???
DNA was exposed to halothane (CAS 151-67-7) in a cell-free system. After exposure the DNA was used as substrate for DNase I from bovine pancreas. The DNase I activity increased after halothane exposure of the substrate depending on time and doses. Drugs are able to influence the DNA conformation. Conformational changes in the DNA can enhance the DNase I cleavage rate. Therefore, it is possible that halothane exposure induces changes in DNA conformation demonstrable by an increased DNase I activity. The results suggest a mechanism by which halothane may contribute to chromosomal defects and disturbances of DNA metabolism in cells.
