Abstract
Examinations were made to see if various vitamin A compounds, including retinol, retinal, retinol palmitate, retinol acetate and retinoic acid, enhance the action of fusidic acid, an antibiotic and inhibitor of protein synthesis, on human carcinoma HeLa cells in vitro. Retinal and retinol strongly potentiated the effect of fusidic acid on HeLa cells. In this system retinol palmitate, retinoic acid and retinol acetate in 10-20 .mu.g/ml concentration did not enhance the effect of fusidic acid significantly.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
