Genotoxicity of 1,1-dichloroethane. 1985

A Colacci, and G Arfellini, and M Mazzullo, and G Prodi, and S Grilli

1,1-Dichloroethane is covalently bound to macromolecules of rat and mouse organs in vivo after ip injection. Covalent Binding Index is typical of initiators classified as weak carcinogens. In vitro binding of 1,1-dichloroethane to nucleic acids and proteins is mediated by liver P-450-dependent microsomal mixed function oxidase system. Lung microsomes are weakly efficient whereas kidney and stomach microsomal fractions are uneffective. Interaction with macromolecules is enhanced by pretreatment with phenobarbitone and suppressed by 2-diethyl-aminoethyl-2,2-diphenyl valerate. Cytosolic enzymes from all of tested organs do not catalyze binding to macromolecules. GSH and/or cytosol addition to microsomal system determine a decrement or suppression of binding extent. This fact suggests that GSH plays a detoxificant role in 1,1-dichloroethane metabolism as for some other chlorinated compounds occurs.

D008861 Microsomes Artifactual vesicles formed from the endoplasmic reticulum when cells are disrupted. They are isolated by differential centrifugation and are composed of three structural features: rough vesicles, smooth vesicles, and ribosomes. Numerous enzyme activities are associated with the microsomal fraction.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D005025 Ethylene Dichlorides Toxic, chlorinated, saturated hydrocarbons. Include both the 1,1- and 1,2-dichloro isomers. The latter is considerably more toxic. It has a sweet taste, ethereal odor and has been used as a fumigant and intoxicant among sniffers. Has many household and industrial uses. Dichloroethanes,Dichlorides, Ethylene
