Exposure of V79 Chinese hamster cells to 2-chlorobenzylidene malonitrile (CS), a chemical used as a sensory irritant for riot control, caused a concentration-dependent increase in the incidence of spindle disturbances. A C-mitotic effect with the appearance of C-metaphases, a metaphase block and the concomitant disappearance of ana-telophase figures were observed after a 3-h treatment. The results indicate that CS might induce aneuploidy in mammalian cells by interacting with the mitotic apparatus.

D009763 o-Chlorobenzylidenemalonitrile A riot control agent which causes temporary irritation of the eyes and the mucosal surface of the respiratory tract. It is a more potent irritant than OMEGA-CHLOROACETOPHENONE, but less incapacitating. o-Chlorobenzylidene Malonitrile,ortho-Chlorobenzylidenemalonitrile,2-Chlorobenzylidene Malonitrile,2-Chlorobenzylidenemalonitrile,CS Tear Gas,o-Chlorobenzylidene malonotrile,ortho-Chlorobenzylidene Malonitrile,2 Chlorobenzylidene Malonitrile,2 Chlorobenzylidenemalonitrile,Malonitrile, 2-Chlorobenzylidene,Malonitrile, o-Chlorobenzylidene,Malonitrile, ortho-Chlorobenzylidene,Tear Gas, CS,malonotrile, o-Chlorobenzylidene,o Chlorobenzylidene Malonitrile,o Chlorobenzylidene malonotrile,o Chlorobenzylidenemalonitrile,ortho Chlorobenzylidene Malonitrile,ortho Chlorobenzylidenemalonitrile
