Benz(a)anthracene and N-nitrosodiphenylaminewere weakly positive in the standard cross both after 48 h and 72 h chronic feeding. However,the dose-response relationship showed a plateau. Of the two naphthylamines, the carcinogen2-naphthylamine was also weakly positive in the standard cross at the highest concentrationtesced.

It proved to be highlymutagenic and recombinagenic with a clear-cut dose-response. The genotoxicity of thispromutagen can be enhanced by a factor of two to four when the high bioactivation cross isused or when the larvae are pretreated for 24 h with phenobarbital.
