Tetrachlorohydroquinone (TCHQ) and tetrachlorocatechol (TCC), two metabolites of the environmental mutagen and carcinogen pentachlorophenol, were tested without exogenous activation in V79 Chinese hamster cells for the induction of mutation at the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT) locus to 6-thioguanine resistance (TGr) and at the Na/K-ATPase locus to ouabain resistance (OuaR).

During autoxidation of the pentachlorophenol (PCP) metabolite tetrachlorohydroquinone (TCHQ) the semiquinone is formed as well as reactive oxygen species (ROS).
In contrast to H (2) O (2), TCHQ in non-toxic concentrations was mutagenic in the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) locus of V79 cells.
