A method is described for the synthesis of labeled ethidium (3, 8-diamino-5-ethyl-6-phenyl
phenanthridinium) bromide. Based on benzoic acid, the radioactive precursor used, the
yield is 15% of a compound that is indistinguishable from authentic ethidium bromide in its
absorption spectra (uv, visible, ir), Chromatographie behavior, and mutagenic effectiveness
in the induction of respiration-deficient cell lines in baker's yeast.
