A number of derivatives of 3-methylcholanthrene have been tested for carcinogenic action by injection into CS7 black mice. Iand 2-Hydroxy-3-methylcholanthvene and 3-rnethylcholanthrene-Iand 2-one were active carcinogens, but cis-1,2-dihydroxy-3-methylcholanthrene showed only weak activity. The hydro

β¦ Synopsis
The carcinogenic activities of a number of aromatic hydrocarbons have been compared with some metabolic intermediates by subcutaneous injection into CS7 black mice. The rnonohydroxymethyl derivatives of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene and some related compounds were found to be active carcinogens, but were much less so than the parent hydrocarbon. Epoxides formed at the K-region of chrysene, benz [a]anthracene, 7-methylbenz[a]anthracene and dibent [a,h]atithracene produced tumours when given at highdose levels, but were not as active as the parent hydrocarbons. The epoxide derived from phenanthrene was inactive.
