N2 - The toxicity of two new monofunctional sulfur mustard derivatives was tested. The compounds (4-carboxybutyl 2-chloroethyl sulfide, CBCS; 10-carboxydecyl 2-chloroethyl sulfide, CDCS) possess the 2-chloroethyl sulfide moiety present in mustard gas. Exposure of guinea pig skin to CBCS resulted in a dose-related ulcerative effect. CDCS exhibited similar pathological effects. Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) exacerbated CBCS toxicity. Regeneration and healing were prominent six days after application. Concentration-related effects were found in in vitro systems, using human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells for acute toxicity and Y79 retinoblastoma cells for colony forming assay. CBCS or derivatives may serve as model compounds for investigating the mechanism of action of alkylating agents.
