The metabolism of 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP), measured as the formation of water soluble metabolites and metabolites covalently bound to macromolecules, was studied in isolated rat liver, kidney, and testicular cells, in subcellular fractions, and with purified rat and human glutathione S-transferases (GSTs).

The nematocide DBCP, activated by both P450- and glutathione S-transferase (s)-dependent pathways, caused considerably less DNA damage in macrophages than in Clara or type II cells.

The data are also in accordance with glutathione-S-transferase, rather than P450, being the most important pathway for metabolic activation of DBCP in rat extrahepatic tissues including the fetal liver.

We have expressed human glutathione S-transferases GSTA1-1 and GSTP1-1 in Salmonella typhimurium TA100 in order to assess the ability of these enzymes to modulate the mutagenicity of 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) and tris (2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate (Tris-BP).

Treatments known to alter P-450 activity and glutathione levels were used to elucidate the involvement of P-450 and glutathione S-transferase metabolism in 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) organ toxicity in the rat.

It is not clear whether glutathione (GSH) conjugation to 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) results in genotoxic activation.

The haloalkane 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP), an environmental pollutant that was widely used as a soil fumigant, is a carcinogen and a mutagen and displays target-organ toxicity to the testes and the kidneys.
