A great deal of effort has gone into research on the mechanisms of action of chemical carcinogens. The action of the host on the carcinogen represents one approach--to determine what metabolic products may be involved. Study of the action of the carcinogen on the host requires a thorough comparison
## Abstract A computerβoriented algorithm is developed for identification and enumeration of carcinogenic bay regions in benzenoid hydrocarbons. The results are reported for geometrically planar benzenoid systems up to ten fused rings. They fully agree with those obtained in a different way by Bala
Considerable evidence now points to 7,8-dihydroxy-9,10-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo(a)pyrenes as ultimate mutagenic and carcinogenic forms of benzo(a)-pyrene. Quantum mechanical calculations have been performed to assess the possible general role of diol epoxides in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon
