Mucochloric acid, a genotoxic hydroxyfuranone found in chlorinated drinking water, was reacted with cytidine, adenosine, guanosine, and uridine. HPLC analyses with UV detection at 290 nm showed that one major product peak was formed in the reactions of cytidine, adenosine

Chemical research in toxicology, 7(4), 482-486 (1994-07-01)
The inactivation of the drinking water mutagen mucochloric acid (MCA) by reduced glutathione (GSH) was linked to the formation of an MCA-GSH conjugate, a nonmutagen in the Salmonella typhimurium (TA100) plate incorporation assay. Anaerobic formation of MCA-GSH is found now

Organic letters, 5(4), 553-556 (2003-02-14)
[reaction: see text] The first direct reductive amination of mucochloric acid (1) has been accomplished. Reaction of 1 with various alkyl, aryl, and benzylamines, followed by reduction in the same pot, provides an efficient method of obtaining N-benzyl-3,4-dichloro-1,5-dihydro-pyrrol-2-one and N-aryl

Environmental and molecular mutagenesis, 22(3), 181-187 (1993-01-01)
A difference in biological response to enantiomers is not an uncommon observation and is, therefore, to be expected in various manifestations of genotoxicity. The bacterial mutagen mucochloric acid (2,3-dichloro-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone) has one chiral center, at C-5, but this mutagen exists in

Archives of environmental contamination and toxicology, 20(3), 371-374 (1991-04-01)
Cyclodextrins form inclusion complexes with a wide range of guest molecules which wholly, or in part, fit into their hydrophobic cavity. Since no covalent bonds are formed in this complexation, the guests can subsequently be eluted. The possibility of such
