Abstract excerpt
We investigated the enhancing effect of heterocyclic amines on base-substitution mutations with 3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-1) and 2-amino-3,4-dimethyl-imidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (MeIQ). We compared the mutagenicity of 3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone (MX)...
