In vitro experiments on actin polymerization in the presence of doxorubicin show that the rate of salt-induced actin assembly is negatively affected by the drug. The decreased amount of actin monomers keeping their ability to self-interact to give F actin (microfilaments) probably explains the reduction of assembly value. Drug action is dose-dependent and various discrepancies are explained by the limitations of the techniques used.

Abstract

In vitro experiments on actin polymerization in the presence of doxorubicin show that the rate of salt-induced actin assembly is negatively affected by the drug. The decreased amount of actin monomers keeping their ability to self-interact to give F actin (microfilaments) probably explains the reduction of assembly value. Drug action is dose-dependent and various discrepancies are explained by the limitations of the techniques used.
