The mutagenicity of thiol (SH)-containing compounds was tested in Salmonella typhimurium TA102 in the liquid preincubation method. Cysteinyl-glycine (CG), cysteine ethyl ester (CEE), L- and D-penicillamine (PA), cysteine (Cys) and glutathione (GSH) were mutagenic to strain TA102 without metabolic activation.
