A field of rapidly expanding knowledge is that of biological reactive intermediates, in this discussion halogenated compounds, eg vinyl chloride, play a prominent role [l]. For the chlorinated ethylenes, preliminary considerations connecting structure and activity have been published by Henschler and coworkers [2-51. They suggested the following:(a) a11 chlorinated ethylenes are Initially b~ otransformed by microsomal monooxygenase (s) to epoxide (oxirane) intermediates which are subsequently ‘detoxified’, eg by molecular rearrangement (see Fig. 1); jbf reactivities and hence toxicities of individual chlorooxirane intermediates depend on the type of chlorine substitution in that symmetric substitution renders the epoxide relatively stable and not mutagenic whilst asymmetric substitution causes unstable and, therefore, mutagenic epoxides;(c) trichloroethylene is exempt from this general rule because its epoxide 2, 2, 3-trichlorooxir~ e~ altho~~~~ asymmetrically substituted and reactive, is immediately further transformed at the cytochrome P-450 site to trichloroacetaldehyde (chloral). The latter is now supported by a recent inhalatory carci~ ogenicity study in 3 animal species which revealed no indication for carcino~ enicity of trichloroethylene [6]. Also, mutagenicity data originalIy obtained with E. coli K 12 131 were generalfy confirmed by using S.~~~~~~ r~~~ strains [? J. This study by Bartsch el ai.[7] also included one brominated and one~ uor~ nated ethylene, vinyl bromide and vinyiidene fluoride: both asymmetrically substituted haloethylenes were bioactivated to mutagenic metabolites, but to much different extents. Vinylidene fluoride showed only ‘marginal mutagenicity’.
