Abstract excerpt
The nitrosated form of cimetidine (Tagamet), nitrosocimetidine (NC), belongs to a group of nitrosoamidines in which the mutagenic and carcinogenic properties of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and N-ethyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (ENNG) have been studied in detail. The common mecha...
