Cytogenetic effects produced in bone marrow of mice by various doses of misonidazole (MISO, 100 to 1000 mg/kg bodyweight) were studied by assaying the induction of micronuclei (MN) and chromosomal aberrations. Misonidazole increased the frequency of both micronuclei and chromosomal aberrations over normal at 24 h after treatment, however, the values were statistically significant from normal only at drug doses above 250 mg/kg. The increase was proportional to the drug dose with a best fit to linear quadratic model for MN induction. For chromosomal aberrations the data fitted equally well to linear as well as linear quadratic models.

D008920	Misonidazole	A nitroimidazole that sensitizes normally radio-resistant hypoxic cells to radiation. It may also be directly cytotoxic to hypoxic cells and has been proposed as an antineoplastic.

D001853	Bone Marrow	The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
