[Differing carcinogenic activity in BD-rats of 1-phenyl- and 1-(pyridyl-3)-3,3-diethyltriazene after single doses on 1., 10. or 30. day of life (author's transl)]
Abstract
1-Phenyl- and 1-(pyridyl-3)-3,3-diethyltriazene have been investigated for carcinogenic effects in BD-rats after subcutaneous injection of a single dose of 50 mg of the compounds on day 1, 10, or 30 of life. The phenyl derivative showed a lower carcinogenic activity in comparison with the pyridyltriazene. Predominantly neurogenic tumors were observed. These were seen much more on treatment on day 1 or 10 of life than on treatment on day 30. The results confirm that the nervous system of rats is a target organ predominantly during early postnatal life.
