The mutagenic activities of novel nitrofluoranthene derivatives in Salmonella strains TA98, TA98NR and TA98/1,8-DNP6 (with and without S9 addition) are given. These derivatives were produced from the reactions of fluoranthene (FL) and its directly mutagenic 2- and 3-nitro derivatives with covalent dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) in CCl4 solution at ambient temperature. The influence of the addition of a nitro group on the observed activity of the resulting di- and tri-nitrofluoranthenes is discussed.
