title: Studies on mutagenicity of 3-chloropropylsulfide derivatives, potential antipsoriatic agents.
abstract: The mutagenicity of three sulfides--sulfur yperites--was investigated in vitro by a method of chromosome structural aberrations and sister chromatid exchange (SCE) on metaphasic chromosomes of the peripheral blood. The study demonstrated a relatively low mutagenicity of 2-chloroethyl-3-chloropropyl sulfide and permitted initiation of clinical investigation of this compound as a potential antipsoriatic agent.
