Abstract


A specific influence of cyclophosphamide, an oncostatic drug of the group of alkylating agents, has been demonstrated on cellular respiration and the permeability of cell membranes. The tested drug under the experimental conditions inhibites cell respiration by about 20-30 per cent as compared with the control. The permeability of the plasmalemma and tonoplast de-creased markedly under the action of cyclophosphamide.
