Monte Carlo simulation of rodent carcinogenicity bioassays.
In this paper we describe a simulation, by Monte Carlo methods, of the results of rodent carcinogenicity bioassays. Our aim is to study how the observed correlation between carcinogenic potency (beta or 1n2/TD50) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) arises, and whether the existence of this correlation leads to an artificial correlation between carcinogenic potencies in rats and mice. The validity ...
متن کاملPredictions for the outcome of rodent carcinogenicity bioassays: identification of trans-species carcinogens and noncarcinogens.
Thirty chemicals or substances currently undergoing long-term carcinogenicity bioassays in rodents have been used in a project to further evaluate methods and information that may have the capability of predicting potential carcinogens. In our predictions the principal information used includes structural alerts and in vitro test results for Salmonella mutagenicity, relative subchronic toxicity...
متن کاملThe Problem of Pseudocarcinogenicity in Rodent Bioassays
Pseudocarcinogenicity is defined as the enhancement of tumor risk by a nongenotoxic mechanism in physiologically abnormal animals. In the case of rats, severe endocrine disturbance secondary to overfeeding is the commonest cause of physiological abnormality. Pseudoanticarcinogenicity is the counterpart of pseudocarcinogenicity. The literature abounds with, and is seriously confused by, examples...
متن کاملA mechanism-mediated model for carcinogenicity: model content and prediction of the outcome of rodent carcinogenicity bioassays currently being conducted on 25 organic chemicals.
A hierarchical model consisting of quantitative structure-activity relationships based mainly on chemical reactivity was developed to predict the carcinogenicity of organic chemicals to rodents. The model is comprised of quantitative structure-activity relationships, QSARs based on hypothesized mechanisms of action, metabolism, and partitioning. Predictors included octanol/water partition coeff...
متن کاملCarcinogenicity predictions for a group of 30 chemicals undergoing rodent cancer bioassays based on rules derived from subchronic organ toxicities.
Rodent carcinogenicities for a group of 30 chemicals which form the subject of the Second NIEHS Predictive-Toxicology Evaluation Experiment are predicted based on their subchronic organ toxicities. Predictions are made by rules learned by the rule learning (RL) induction program.
