Comparative results of 327 chemical carcinogenicity studies.

چکیده
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Toxicology Program (NTP) have carried out a number of laboratory animal carcinogenicity studies and presented the results of these experiments in a series of Technical Reports. This paper tabulates the results of the 327 NCI/NTP studies carried out to date on 308 distinct chemicals, and discusses certain issues relevant to the evaluation of carcinogenicity in these experiments. This compilation of results from NCI/NTP carcinogenicity experiments provides a large database that can be used to study structure-activity correlations, interspecies concordance, and associations between laboratory animal carcinogenicity and other toxicological effects.

Absence of morphologic correlation between chemical toxicity and chemical carcinogenesis.
The experimental data set used to evaluate site-specific histopathologic correspondence between the morphologic end points of toxicity and carcinogenicity comprises 130 chemical carcinogenesis studies. Nearly 1500 sex-species-exposure-group experiments were evaluated for a) evidence of toxicity or/and carcinogenicity, b) dose-response relationships, c) site-specific correlations of toxicity and...
متن کاملPrediction of rodent carcinogenicity of further 30 chemicals bioassayed by the U.S. National Toxicology Program.
Recently the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) sponsored a comparative exercise in which different prediction approaches (both biologically and chemically based) were challenged for their predictive abilities of rodent carcinogenicity of a common set of chemicals. The exercise enjoyed remarkable scientific success and stimulated NTP to sponsor a second challenging round of tests, inviting ...
متن کاملRegulatory requirements and ICH guidelines on carcinogenicity testing of pharmaceuticals: A review on current status
Carcinogenicity studies are conducted in laboratory animals to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of pharmaceuticals. In drug discovery, rodent carcinogenicity studies are conducted with an objective to explore the mechanism of carcinogenesis and the ultimate risk to humans. Many problems are encountered in carrying out and interpretation of results for carcinogenicity bioassay. A number of fa...
متن کاملExamples of uses of databases for quantitative and qualitative correlation studies between genotoxicity and carcinogenicity.
In this paper we give some examples of using databases of genotoxicity and carcinogenicity for quantitative and qualitative correlation studies between short-term tests and carcinogenicity. The quality of the databases is obviously important, but one of the major deficiencies of present databases is that they are too small. Using relatively small, different databases, different results can be o...
متن کاملCarcinogenicity of the aromatic amines: from structure-activity relationships to mechanisms of action and risk assessment.
Aromatic amines represent one of the most important classes of industrial and environmental chemicals: many of them have been reported to be powerful carcinogens and mutagens, and/or hemotoxicants. Their toxicity has been studied also with quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) methods: these studies are potentially suitable for investigating mechanisms of action and for estimating...
