On irradiation with UV light (λ = 350 nm) the N ‐hydroxypridinethiones 1 and 2 generate hydroxyl radicals, which cause single‐strand breaks and base modifications in calf thymus DNA and superhelical PM2 DNA. The para isomer 2 is significantly more genotoxic than the known antibacterial and fungicidal reagent pyridinethione 1 .
