GENOTOXICITY OF SYNTHETIC PHENOLIC DERIVATIVES OF BENZIMIDAZOLE ^{[№ 5 ' 2010]}
We studied genotoxicity for Allium sulfur benzimidazolilmethylphenol and 2-methyl benzimidazolilmethylphenols. It is shown that it depends on the position of the OH group in the benzene ring, in particular, 4-substituted phenols are more genotoxic than 2-substituted ones. Possible mechanisms of action of these compounds are discussed.
