CHEMICAL CARCINOGENIC AND MUTAGENIC AGENTS IN THE WORKPLACE, POLAND, 2008-2010

Carcinogenic Chemical Agents *

Cancer is a disease which has long been shrouded in mystery, but our knowledge of its intricacies has been extended in numerous directions by investigations carried on in all parts of the world by workers in many branches of science. Yet it remains true that in general we are not able to explain the origin of cancer, and the methods of treatment at present available are pitifully inadequate. Th...

Chemical Compounds as Carcinogenic Agents

A review of the progress made in the study of the carcinogenic properties of chemical compounds, incorporating literature published during the triennial period between the First and Second International Cancer Congresses, was presented to the Second International Congress in Brussels, in September 1936, and was subsequently reprinted with an addendum covering most of the literature published up...

Relationship between the Chemical Structure and the Mutagenic and Carcinogenic Potentials of Five Naphthofurans1

We have analyzed the relationship between the biological activities and chemical structure of five naphthofurans. The compounds studied included 2-nitro-7-methoxynaphtho[2,1-b]furan (R 7000) (Compound A), 2-nitro-8-methoxynaphtho[2,1-o]furan (Compound B), 2-nitronaphtho[2,1-6]furan (Compound C), 2-nitro-7-bromonaphtho[2,1-b]furan (Compound D), and 7-methoxynaphtho[2,1-o]furan (Compound E), the ...

Relationship between the chemical structure and the mutagenic and carcinogenic potentials of five naphthofurans.

We have analyzed the relationship between the biological activities and chemical structure of five naphthofurans. The compounds studied included 2-nitro-7-methoxynaphtho[2,1-b]-furan (R 7000) (Compound A), 2-nitro-8-methoxynaphtho[2,1-b]-furan (Compound B), 2-nitronaphtho[2,1-b]furan (Compound C), 2-nitro-7-bromonaphtho[2,1-b]furan (Compound D), and 7-methoxynaphtho[2,1-b]furan (Compound E), th...
