Abstract

We examined the effects of some cytokinins and cytokinin ribosides including a series of adenosine analogs differently substituted in the N(6) position, along with some hypoxanthine derivatives on the viability of normal and neoplastic human cells. Cytokinins such as trans-zeatin, isopentenyladenine and benzyladenine do not show any effect, while cytokinin ribosides such as trans-zeatin riboside, isopentenyladenosine, and benzylaminopurine riboside impair the viability of normal and neoplastic cells, apart from colon carcinoma LoVo cells.
