The mutagenicity of nitrosamides in Salmonella typhimurium. 1979

W Lijinsky, and A W Andrews

34 nitrosamides (10 nitrosoalkylcarbamates, 2 nitrosoalkylnitroguanidines, 12 nitrosoalkylureas, 6 substituted nitrosoalkylureas, and 4 cyclic nitrosoalkylureas) were tested for mutagenicity in Salmonella. All were direct-acting mutagens of varying potency.
