Abstract

Cytotoxic and cell transforming activities of the pesticides cyanazine, diflubenzuron, dithianon, procymidone, and vinclozolin were investigated in vitro by utilizing the BALB/c 3T3 cell transformation test performed in the presence or in the absence of S-9 mix as an exogenous bioactivation system for the chemicals. All the assayed pesticides were cytotoxic in the absence of S-9 mix, whereas only dithianon exerted cytotoxic effects in the presence of metabolic activation. All the chemicals tested did induce BALB/c 3T3 cell transformation, to a various extent, in the absence of S-9 mix. Cell transforming ability of cyanazine and diflubenzuron was not detectable in the presence of S-9.
