OBJECTIVES: 2-Nitropropane (2-NP) is mutagenic in a number of short-term mutagenicity assays in vitro and in vivo, and is a potent hepatocarcinogen in rats. Many studies have determined that differences in the metabolism and disposition of the chemicals that produce mutagenicity were not responsible for their observed carcinogenic diffe.....
