Four antitumoral 5,8-quinazolinediones were examined for their ability to induce mutation in Salmonella typhimurium. Each compound was tested at several concentrations in 4 strains. Relationships were established between the structure of the quinones and their mutagenic activities. The mutagenicity was influenced by (i) the nature of the substituent(s) of the quinonic moiety: the methoxyquinone had no mutagenic properties and the aziridinylquinones were mutagenic in the 4 strains with or without activation by S9 mix; (ii) the presence or the absence of a diaminopolymethylenic chain in the 4 position; (iii) the monomeric or the dimeric structure of the tested compound. Interestingly, the data indicated that the aziridinylquinazolinedione bearing the dimethylaminopropylamino chain in the 4 position was less mutagenic and had greater antitumor activity than the dimeric quinone.
