We were able to show that 3-CPD is a substrate for glutathione-S-transferase and also that, after bioactivation by alcohol dehydrogenase, it generates an irreversible inhibitor of glutathione reductase.

Fresh liver tissues from further 4 control and 4 experimental rats sacrificed 6 hours after the injection of 20% ethanol and 1 x LD50 of DC2P were homogenized and subjected to evaluate lipid peroxidation, glutathione S-transferase activity and reduced glutathione contents in the liver.

In vitro studies have demonstrated that two different metabolic pathways, glutathione conjugation mediated by the glutathione S-transferases and microsomal oxidation, may be involved in the genotoxicity and carcinogenicity of 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE).
