毒理性
遗传毒性... 强致突变剂3-氯-4-(二氯甲基)-5-羟基-2(5H)-呋喃酮(MX)及其几何异构体E-2-氯-3-(二氯甲基)-4-氧代丁烯酸(E-MX)已被发现在氯化饮水中存在。MX大约占总突变性的30%,而E-MX只占几个百分点。MX和E-MX在水中的稳定性较差,会发生pH依赖的异构化(MX与E-MX处于平衡)和水解降解。MX类似物3-氯-4-(二氯甲基)-2(5H)-呋喃酮(红-MX)和2-氯-3-(二氯甲基)-2-丁烯二酸(氧-MX)也已在氯化水中被识别。然而,这些化合物的相对较低的致突变性表明,它们对氯化水总体致突变性的贡献仅为中等程度。
/GENOTOXICITY/ ... The strong Ames mutagen 3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2 (5H)-furanone (MX) and its geometric isomer E-2-chloro-3-(dichloromethyl)-4-oxobutenoic acid (E-MX) have been shown to be present in chlorinated drinking waters. MX accounts for approximately 30% and E-MX for a few percent of the overall mutagenicity. MX and E-MX are unstable in water and undergo both pH dependent isomerization (MX in equilibrium E-MX) and hydrolytic degradation. ... The MX analogues 3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-2 (5H)-furanone (red-MX) and 2-chloro-3-(dichloromethyl)-2-butenedioic acid (ox-MX) have also been identified in chlorinated water. However, the relatively low mutagenicity of these compounds suggests that their contribution to the overall mutagenicity of chlorinated water is of only moderate significance.
