3-Heptylidene-4,6-Dimethoxy-3-Isobenzofuran-1-One Is Genotoxic, Increases the Frequency of Cell Death, and Potentiates the Effects of Cyclophosphamide and Cisplatin.

3-heptylidene-4,6-dimethoxy-3-isobenzofuran-1-one (Phthalide ) is the precursor of three resorcinol lipids that have been described as potential chemotherapeutic agents and capable of potentiating the effects of cyclophosphamide. In this study, we evaluated the genotoxic potential, cell-killing potential, and interactions with cyclophosphamide and cisplatin of phthalide . Twelve groups were created from 120 mice: Negative Control, cyclophosphamide (100 mg/kg), cisplatin (6 mg/kg), Phthalide (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg), and associations of with cyclophosphamide and with cisplatin.
