Cytogenetic effects of styrene and styrene oxide

Abstract

Styrene and styrene oxide induce various cytogenetic effects, similar in both human lymphocytes in vitro and onion root-tip cells in vivo. Styrene appears to cause chromosome breakage in both systems, and in Allium it shows a strong c-mitotic effect. Styrene oxide, on the other hand, seems to destroy the tertiary folding of the chromatin. Cytotoxicity of styrene oxide is very high (complete mitotic inhibition occurs on 0.03% v/v) in human lymphocytes, whereas, in Allium, styrene is slightly more toxic than styrene oxide. Styrene glycol, a further metabolite of styrene oxide, does not cause mitotic inhibition.
