Abstract excerpt
Aminophenylnorharman (APNH) is formed from non-mutagenic norharman and aniline, and is mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium TA98 with S9 mix. Norharman and aniline are present in cigarette smoke and cooked foods and both compounds are detected in human urine samples, suggesting that APNH could be a mutagenic and carcinogenic human risk factor. The purpose of the present study was to determine the in vivo...
