Antimony compounds are supposed to resemble to arsenicals in some toxicological features. Comparative investigations with antimony and arsenic were performed to collect data on the genotoxicity of antimony, on which the knowledge is scarce. In comparison to trivalent arsenic, trivalent
Clastogenic effects of antimony trichloride, used in small industries, were monitored in laboratory bred white Swiss mice in vivo, following oral administration by gavaging, after 6, 12, 18 and 24 h. Chromosomal aberrations were principally breaks and damaged cells observed

Pregnant female rats were exposed to antimony trichloride (0.1 and 1 mg/dl in their drinking water ad libitum) from the first day of pregnancy until weaning (22nd day after delivery). Pups were exposed to antimony trichloride (0.1 and 1 mg/dl
Antimony compounds are widely used in various manufacturing and semiconducting industries. Previously, it has been shown that antimony trichloride (SbCl3) elevates sister chromatid exchange (SCE) rates in V79 cells after a 28-h incubation. However, only limited data on its genotoxic
Arsenic and antimony are two semimetals sharing some chemical as well as toxicological properties. Both elements are clastogenic but not point mutagenic in their trivalent state of valency. Environmental exposure to arsenic was proven to be associated with increased rates
