title: Anaerobic metabolism of 2-amino-3-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) by human fecal flora.
abstract: Incubation of the heterocyclic cooked food mutagen IQ with mixed human fecal microflora under anaerobic conditions yielded 2-amino-3,6-dihydro-3-methyl-7H-imidazo[4,5-f]quinoline-7-one (2) as the major detectable metabolite.
