title: Mutagenic activity of N-nitrosomethamphetamine and N-nitrosoephedrine.
abstract: The mutagenicity of N-nitrosomethamphetamine (NMA) and N-nitrosoephedrine (NEP), which were synthesized in our laboratory, was examined by the modified pre-incubation method of Ames assay using Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and TA98. Both nitroso compounds showed significant mutagenic activity in the presence of hamster S9.
