Abstract excerpt
3-Nitrobenzanthrone (NBA) is a powerful bacterial mutagen and a suspected human carcinogen present in diesel exhaust and airborne particulates [Enya, T., et al. (1997) Environ. Sci. Technol. 31, 2772-2776]. In the accompanying paper [Enya, T., et al. (1998) Chem. Res. Toxcol. 11, 1460-1467], N-acetoxy-N-acetyl-3-aminobenzanthrone (N-Aco-N-Ac-ABA) was synthesized to yield the DNA adducts of NBA. In this work, to...
