Preliminary pharmacological tests showed that 1,7-dimethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (DMC) had antitumor activity against HeLa and A549 cell lines in vitro. The HeLa cells apoptosis induced by DMC was examined by flow cytometric meter, and further confirmed by observing the morphological changes and DNA fragmentation. No observation of A549 cells induced apoptosis was observed by DMC.
