-CHLOROETHYL) SULFIDE (MUSTARD GAS) AND OF VARIOUS DERIVATIVES
1 Department of Physiology, New York University College of Medicine, New York
The parenteral toxicity of bis(
-chloroethyl) sulfide (mustard gas) and certain mustard derivatives has been studied in various species. Most derivatives of mustard are relatively non-toxic. Those which are toxic are shown to act in a different manner from mustard. These data support the hypothesis that mustard acts either per se or in the form of its first aqueous reaction product,
-chloro-ethyl-ethylene sulfonium chloride.
We are indebted to Elesa Addis (Karnofsky), Mildred Bevelander, Betty Lou Ellis, Vera Hoie, Vera James, Penelope Smith and Lee Summers in the conduct of the experiments.
