T1 - Formation of 2-nitro-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline, a directly mutagenic product, by near-ultraviolet irradiation of a mixture of 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline and N-nitrosodimethylamine

N2 - Direct-acting mutagens to Salmonella typhimurium TA98 were found to be formed from heterocyclic amines on exposure to near-ultraviolet light in the presence of N-nitrosodialkylamines. We have isolated the mutagenic photoproduct formed from 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) and N-nitrosodimethylamine, and the product was identified as 3-methyl-2-nitromidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ(NO2)). The yield of IQ(NO2) from IQ was estimated to be 17%. Similar light-dependent activation of IQ was noted with 4 different nitrosodialkylamines other than nitrosodimethylamine. Furthermore, MeIQ and MeIQx were also activated with nitrosamine and light. These reactions represent an example of interaction between 2 different classes of mutagens.
