Zur Mutagenität von Dichloracetaldehyd und 2,2-Dichlor-1,1-Dihydroxy-äthanphosphonsäuremethylester, möglichen Metaboliten des Phosphororganischen Pestizides Trichlorphon

Dichloroacetaldehyde and 2,2-dichloro-1,1-dihydroxy-ethanephosphonic acid methyl ester which are formed solvolytically from desmethyltrichlorphone, an in vivo metabolite of the organophosphorus pesticide Trichlorphone, show in the dominant lethal test in mice at equimolar dosage (1.6 mmol/kg) a mutagenic activity comparable with that of Trichlorphon. Therefore it cannot be ruled out that the genetic effects of this pesticide may be due in part to the action of its degradation products.

Notizen: Trennung und biologische Wirksamkeit der Enantiomeren eines chiralen Thiadiazolylsulfoxides/Separation and Biological Activity of the Enantiomers of a Chiral Thiadiazolyl Sulfoxide

The enantiomers of the fungicidal and bactericidal (3-chloro-1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-yl)-(3´-chloro-1´,2´,4´-thiadiazoyl-5´-ylthiomethyl)-sulfoxide (2) have been separated by liquid chromatography on triacetylcellulose. Tested in a photometer assay on Torulopsis H 24 and Erwinia carotovorum (+)-2 and (-)-2 show practically the same activity and do not differ from the racemic mixture.
