Abstract 1-Chloromethylpyrene has been evaluated as a model mutagen and toxin related to the ultimate electrophiles derived from BaP and 1-nitropyren. It was mutagenic to Salmonella (>100 picograms/plate) and exceptionally reactive to DNA when assessed by the postlabeling assay. 1-CMP was inactive in a mouse bone marrow micronucleus assay when administered by gavage probably due to hydroylis whose kinetics have been studied (half life 23 min at 37 C). However as expected it was a potent skin toxin as determined by its activity as a mitogen to mouse skin and its contact allergenicity, as determined using the local lymph node proliferative assay. It is concluded that 1-CMP will probably be a potent human skin carcinogen and contact allergen. (Copyright (c) 1990 Elsevier Science Publishers B.V. (Biomedical Division).)
