3-Nitrobenzanthrone (3-nitro-7H-benz[d,e]anthracen-7-one) was isolated from the organic extracts of both diesel exhaust and airborne particles and was identified as a new class of powerful direct mutagen. Its mutagenicity by Ames Salmonella assay is very high (208 000 revertants/nmol in Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and 6 290 000 revertants/nmol in YG1024) and compares with that of 1,8-dinitropyrene, which is the direct mutagen of strongest activity (257 000 revertants/nmol in TA98 and 4 780 000 revertants/nmol in YG1024) so far reported in the literature. The new mutagen was also shown to induce micronuclei in mouse peripheral blood reticulocytes after intraperitoneal administration (micronucleated reticulocytes, 0.64% against 25 mg/kg dose after 48 h), suggesting its potential genotoxicity to mammalians. 3- Nitrobenzanthrone is most likely to be formed not only during the combustion process of fossil fuels but also from the atmospheric reaction between benzanthrone and lower oxides of nitrogen, since the latter ketone was found to be nitrated quite easily under an artificial atmosphere containing gaseous NO2 (10 ppm) and O3 (5 ppm) to produce the powerfully mutagenic 3-nitro derivative as the major product, along with several other isomeric mononitrobenzanthrones and dinitro descendants as minor products. 3-Nitrobenzanthrone (3-nitro-7H-benz[d,e]anthracen-7-one) was isolated from the organic extracts of both diesel exhaust and airborne particles end was identified as a new class of powerful direct mutagen.
