Dunstan et al. (p. 88) have developed a cell-based assay to identify anticancer agents that are selectively toxic to cells with defined mutations. They used this assay to identify agents in the National Cancer Institutes repository of compounds that are selectively toxic to yeast cells deficient in DNA double-strand break repair. They identified and characterized eight agents that are selectively toxic to such yeast cells: two novel topoisomerase II poisons, five agents with topoisomerase I-dependent toxicity, and one agent that bound to DNA and induced strand breaks. They concluded
