Non-mutagenicity of 2-methyl-2,3-epoxybutane and factors influencing the mutagenicity of 2,3-epoxybutane.

J. Appl. Toxicol. 2(6) , 284-8, (1982)

The compound 2,3-epoxybutane (2,3-EB) is a direct mutagen for the base-pair-substitution-sensitive strains TA 1530, TA 1535 and TA 100, in the absence and in the presence of metabolic activation by liver S9-mix. Under the same experimental conditions, the 2-m...

Assessing the potential for diol and hydroxy sulfate ester formation from the reaction of epoxides in tropospheric aerosols.

Environ. Sci. Technol. 43(5) , 1386-92, (2009)

Polyols and sulfate esters have recently been identified in the secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formed in the photooxidation of biogenic hydrocarbons both in the laboratory and under ambient atmospheric conditions. In the present study, the potential role of ...

Increase of 2,3-epoxybutane mutagenicity by glutathione-S-transferases.

Toxicol. Lett. 21(3) , 255-62, (1984)

The mutagenicity of 2,3- epoxybutane (2,3-EB) towards Salmonella FFphimurium TA1530 is increased by rat liver S9 mix. This enhancement can be induced by Aroclor 1254 (ARO) or phenobarbitone (PB) pretreatment. Comparative assays with purified subcellular liver...

Comparative mutagenicity of structurally related aliphatic epoxides in a modified Salmonella/microsome assay.

Mutagenesis 8(5) , 387-93, (1993)

Four structurally related aliphatic epoxides (1,2-epoxypropane, 1,2-epoxyisobutane, cis- and trans-2,3-epoxybutane) have been tested in the Salmonella/microsome assay, modified for volatile substances, using the strains TA1535 and TA100. The aim of the study ...
