Abstract excerpt
The mutagenicity and activation requirements of purified synthetic derivatives and potential metabolites of 1-nitropyrene have been characterized in the Ames plate incorporation assay with the Salmonella tester strains TA98, TA98NR and TA98/1,8-DNP6, in the presence or absence of exogenous metabolic activation provided by Aroclor-induced rat liver S9. All the compounds tested (1-aminopyrene,...
