Abstract
Rapid spot-test screening of antischistosomal agents reveals that hycanthone is a potent frameshift mutagen while the closely related compound, miracil D, is nonmutagenic in Salmonella . Both hycanthone and miracil D are frameshift mutagens for T4 bacteriophage during growth in Escherichia coli .Keywords
