Sulphur mustard reacts directly with benzenethiols and cysteine esters in aqueous medium. 2. Benzenethiols diffuse into lung slices in short term culture. 3. Treatment of lung slices in short term culture with benzenethiols does not protect cellular glutathione from conjugation with sulphur mustard. 4. Following uptake of cysteine ester into lung slices cysteine is elevated but this does not protect cellular glutathione from sulphur mustard.
