Effects of Chloramphenicol Reduction Products on Hemopoietic Precursor Cells in vitro

Abstract
The nitroso, hydroxamic acid and acetoxyhydroxamate nitrogenous reduction metabolites of chloramphenicol evidently are not directly toxic to myelopoietic and immunopoietic [mouse] bone marrow precursor cells as assessed by the in vitro colony-forming cell and precursor plaque-forming cell assays, respectively.
