title: [A comparative analysis of mutagenic and SOS-induced activity in three classes of chemical compounds].
abstract: Mutagenic and SOS-inducing potential of 23 derivatives of fluorenone, phenanthrenequinone and biphenyl have been studied in tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium and in Escherichia coli strain PQ 37. 14 of these compounds revert the mutation hisD3052 (much less than -1 much greater than type), but none of them induce mutations in the strain TA 1535. Maximal mutagenic activity has been shown in strain TA 1538 for amide of 2,7-dinitrofluorenone-4-carbonic acid (580 revertants per nmol), 2,7-dinitrophenanthrenequinone (308 revertants per nmol), 2,4,7-trinitrophenanthrenequinone (306 revertants per nmol) and 2',4,4'-trinitrobiphenyl-2-carbonic acid (251 revertants per nmol). In plasmid-containing strain TA 98 the mutagenic potential of the compounds tested is lower than in the TA 1538 strain. It has been suggested that mutagenic activity of these compounds can be attributed to their acceptor properties, namely, the ability to form charge transfer complexes with DNA. SOS-inducing activity has been shown for 5 compounds, also positive in mutation induction. Mutagenic and SOS-inducing activities positively correlate in fluorenone derivatives. Among phenanthrenequinone derivatives, compounds with high mutagenic activity only can induce SOS response. None of the biphenyls tested induce SOS functions. The compounds giving the positive result in the SOS-chromotest have rigid co-planar structure.
