Abstract The mutagenic activities of novel nitrofluoranthene derivatives were studied in-vitro. The compounds were synthesized by reacting fluoranthene (206440), 2-nitrofluoranthene (13177292), or 3-nitrofluoranthene (892217) with nitrogen-dioxide in carbon-tetrachloride at room temperature. Thirteen compounds were tested for mutagenicity in the Amesalmonella assay using strains (TA-98), (TA-98NR), and (TA-98/1,8DNP6) in the presence or absence of S9 mix from aroclor-1254 induced rat liver. All nitrofluoranthene derivatives were mutagenic in (TA-98) in the absence of S9 mix. All but one of the compounds were less mutagenic in (TA-98NR), compared with (TA-98). In (TA-98/1,8DNP6) all but two compounds showed sharply reduced mutagenic activity, at least 50 percent, relative to (TA-98). When S9 mix was present, most compounds showed significantly reduced mutagenic activity. The authors conclude that adding a second or third nitro group to the naphthalene moiety of the fluoranthene molecule does not significantly increases its mutagenicity in strain (TA-98) over that of mono nitrofluoranthenes.
