Description

1,3-Dichloropropene is a fumigant that inhibits the production of malonic acid by inhibiting the enzyme malonate semialdehyde dehydrogenase. 1,3-Dichloropropene has been shown to be toxic in vitro, but not in vivo. In addition, this compound has been shown to inhibit the activity of enzymes such as quillaja saponaria and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in vitro. 1,3-Dichloropropene has been found to cause chronic exposure and site specific toxicity in rats. Chronic exposure was associated with an increased incidence of lymphomas and leukemias. The mechanism for these effects is unknown, but may be due to damage to DNA or inhibition of RNA synthesis.
