Abstract excerpt
1-, 3-, and 6-nitrobenzo[a]pyrene (nitro-BaP) are environmental contaminants that can be metabolized to genotoxic derivatives by either nitroreduction or ring-oxidation. In this study, we examined the types of mutations produced by the primary nitroreduced metabolites, 1-, 3-, and 6-nitroso-BaP (NO-BaP) in the hprt gene of Chinese hamster ovary cells. RNA from 6-thioguanine-resistant mutants was...
