Abstract excerpt
UV-irradiation (254 nm, 10 or 20 J/cm2) of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and p-aminosalicylic acid (NaPAS) potentiated their antimutagenicity towards N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis in Salmonella typhimurium. Their inhibitory action towards the formation of the mutagen N-methyl-N-nitrosourea from the nitrosation mixture of N-methylurea and nitrite was also increased by UV-irradiation. In contrast,...
