Abstract

Two pesticides, organophosphate phosphamidon (PHO) and organochlorine dieldrin (DED) were assayed by the mouse bone marrow micronucleus test, to ascertain whether they showed genotoxic activity in vivo. Two doses, sub-lethal (PHO = 3 mg/kg b.wt.; DED = 60 mg/kg b.wt.) and lethal (PHO = 5 mg/kg b.wt.; DED = 90 mg/kg b.wt.), of each substance were administered intraperitoneally to 9-10-week old CBA male mice, in acute and repeated exposure. The sub-lethal dose was also administered at two different times and twice at 24-h intervals. Both PHO and DED proved able to induce a dose-dependent increase of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE). The two pesticides also showed a different detoxification time. Furthermore, the CREST staining with antikinetochore antibodies allowed us to conclude that the two chemicals are clastogens.
