When ethylene dibromide (EtBr2) was assayed with the Chinese hamster ovary/hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (CHO/HGPRT) system coupled with a rat liver metabolic activation system (S9), which contains Ca2+ (Ca, Mg-S9), the cytotoxicity of EtBr2 was greatly increased over that obtained when NADP was omitted from the Ca, Mg-S9 or when EtBr2 was assayed as a direct-acting agent.

When haloethanes were being tested as direct-acting agents in the Chinese hamster ovary cell/hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (CHO/HGPRT) system, ethylene dibromide (EtBr2) exhibited more cytotoxic and mutagenic activity than ethylene dichloride (EtCl2), and the mixed halogenated congener ethylene bromochloride (EtBrCl) had an intermediate effect.
