Chemical Compounds as Carcinogenic Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 to the end of 1936 (231). The year 1937 has again witnessed a large output of new work in this field and this is summarised in the present report. For convenience of reference the general classification adopted in the original report has been retained and the references are numbered continuously.

Increased attachment of nucleic acids to eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells induced by chemical and physical carcinogens and mutagens.
Significantly enhanced attachment to Ehrlich ascites and Escherichia coli cells was observed for radioactive DNA and RNA in the presence of chemical mutagens and ultimate carcinogens. In some instances, formation of nucleic acid-protein adducts by these compounds further (or similarly) enhanced the binding. DNA irradiated with ultraviolet light in the presence of a protein bound more efficientl...
متن کاملEntropy Approach to the Study of Biological Activity of Chemical Compounds. The Other Side of Radioprotectors
An attempt made to construct a model of relationship of the radioprotective and carcinogenic properties of biologically active compounds with their electron and information factors. We discovered a simple quantitative structure – activity relationships between the radioprotective effectiveness of chemicals and their molecular structure. It is established that carcinogenic properties of chemical...
متن کاملThe carcinogenic activity of some new derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons; compounds related to 1,2-benzanthracene.
In 1939 a program of investigation was undertaken in collaboration with Professor Louis F. Fieser and his associates at Harvard University, directed toward a further study of the chemistry of artificial carcinogenesis. The main task was a biological testing for carcinogenicity of a number of new hydrocarbon derivatives synthesized by Dr. Fieser's group. Although the chief purpose of this paper ...

متن کاملStatistical Modeling and Prediction of Carcinogenic Activity of Chemical Compounds
We have established two classification rules that statistically accurate allow to separate carcinogenically active chemical compounds from inactive chemical compounds. The electronic and information properties of molecules are used as molecular descriptors. The threshold values of descriptors that characterize and determine the presence or absence of carcinogenic properties of chemical compound...
