Mutation research, 245(3), 191-199 (1990-11-01)
Methyl vinyl sulphone (MVS) is a labile, Michael-reactive chemical, similar in structure to acrylamide (AA). Given that acrylamide is a reference mammalian mutagen and a rodent carcinogen, studies were undertaken to evaluate the potential genotoxicity of MVS. In common with

Methyl vinyl sulfone and divinyl sulfone were tested for the induction of dominant lethal mutations and micronucleated bone-marrow erythrocytes in male mice. These chemicals were chosen for study because of their similarities in structure and chemical reactivity to acrylamide which
K L Dearfield et al.
Mutagenesis, 6(6), 519-525 (1991-11-01)
Over the past several years, we have been evaluating the mutagenicity and clastogenicity of compounds capable of Michael-type reactions. These compounds, including acrylamide, several acrylate and methacrylate esters, vinyl sulfones, and phorone, have been evaluated using TK+/- -3.7.2C mouse lymphoma
