The induction of unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) and the alteration of semiconservative DNA replication by the structurally related intercalating agents proflavine and 9-aminoacridine were studied in MRC-5 human fibroblasts in culture. Autoradiographic determinations of both parameters were carried out simultaneously in the same culture specimens. Proflavine affected DNA synthesis, but did not elicit any UDS. 9-Aminoacridine inhibited DNA synthesis only at the highest concentration and caused UDS to a low but significant extent. These results suggest that the ability to induce UDS is not a general property of the intercalating agents and that the alterations of the DNA structure, typical of the "pure" intercalative process, are not handled by pathways involving unscheduled synthesis.
