Abstract excerpt
Incubation of the 2-nitroimidazole-aziridine, RSU-1069 [1-(2-nitro-1-imidazolyl)-3-(1-aziridinyl)-2-propanol], and its monomethylaziridine analogue, RSU-1131 [1-(2-nitro-1-imidazolyl)-3-(1-(2-methylaziridinyl))-2-propanol], with V79-4 mammalian cells for 2 hr under aerobic or hypoxic conditions induces mutations as measured at the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase locus. The ability of these agents to...
