4-Methylthiobenzoic acid reduces cisplatin nephrotoxicity in rats without compromising anti-tumour activity.

Biochem. Pharmacol. 41(12) , 1997-2003, (1991)

Administration of 4-methylthiobenzoic acid (MTBA) (100 mg/kg) strongly reduced cisplatin nephrotoxicity (7.5 mg/kg, 20 min after MTBA) in rats as determined by histopathology and blood urea nitrogen. Anti-tumour activity against a colonic adenocarcinoma, CC 5...

Preventive action of thioethers towards in vitro DNA binding and mutagenesis in E. coli K12 by alkylating agents.

Mutat. Res. 245(2) , 67-74, (1990)

Thioethers are effective scavengers of electrophilic metabolites derived from the hepatocarcinogen N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene (van den Goorbergh et al., 1987). In this study 2 of these thioethers, 4-(methylthio)benzoic acid (MTB) and its methylester, met...
