Abstract Studies were conducted to assess the in vitro toxicity of three chloropropanones: monochloropropanone (MCP), 1,1-dichloropropanone (1,1-DCP) and 1,3-dichloropropanone (1,3-DCP). Chloropropanones reacted directly with reduced glutathione in sodium phosphate buffer at pH 7.4. All chloropropanones were cytotoxic to suspensions of male, rat hepatocytes in a concentration range of 0.5-10 mM. Cytotoxicity was preceded by rapid decline in cellular GSH levels. Mutagenic potencies among the chloropropanes in Salmonella typhimurium bacteria differed greatly. 1,3-DCP was mutagenic in the nmole range, 1,1-DCP was weakly mutagenic in the micromole range and MCP was not mutagenic. Mutagenicity of the dichloropropanones was evident without metabolic activation.
