Mutagenicity of diallate, sulfallate, and triallate and relationship between structure and mutagenic effects of carbamates used widely in agriculture. 1978

F De Lorenzo, and N Staiano, and L Silengo, and R Cortese

In an investigation of the mutagenic properties of 20 carbamate herbicides and fungicides by use of the Salmonella/microsome mutagenicity test as developed by Ames et al. (Mutation Res., 31: 347-364, 1975), we have found that three thiocarbamate compounds, diallate, sulfallate and triallate, are mutagenic in the presence of a liver microsomal fraction on strains TA1535 and TA100. This indicates that the metabolic products of these thiocarbamates are causing base-pair substitutions. Since the 2-chloro-allyl group is common to the three mutagenic compounds but is not common to the 17 nonmutagenic compounds, a metabolic derivative of this group is probably responsible for the mutagenic activity.
