Abstract

Diethylstilbestrol and its derivatives were tested to determine their inhibitory effects on the relaxation activity of DNA topoisomerase I using cell lysates from Chinese hamster V79 cells. Among the derivatives investigated, (±)-indenestrol B, (±)-IB, showed the strongest inhibitory effect.
