Abstract

The genotoxicity of N-nitrosodipropylamine, 8 of its oxidized derivatives and N-nitroso-2,6-dimethylmorpholine was examined in the hepatocyte primary culture (HPC)/DNA repair test. Nine N-nitrosamines which are known to be carcinogenic and mutagenic were clearly positive in the HPC/DNA-repair test. N-Nitroso(2,3-dihydroxypropyl) (2-hydroxypropyl)amine did not elicit DNA repair, but showed a borderline mutagenic response in the Salmonella/microsome test. Thus, the HPC/DNA-repair test displays a comparable capacity to the bacterial mutagenesis test for detecting the genotoxic effects of this class of carcinogens.
