Abstract

Two-year toxicology and carcinogenesis studies were conducted by administering diets containing 0, 600, or 1,300 ppm nitrofurantoin to groups of 50 female rats for 103 weeks. Groups of 50 male rats and 50 mice of each sex were fed diets containing 0, 1,300 or 2,500 ppm for 103 weeks. Under the conditions of these 2-year feed studies, there was some evidence of carcinogenic activity of nitrofurantoin for male F344/N rats as shown by increased incidences of uncommon kidney tubular cell neoplasms. Uncommon osteosarcomas of the bone and neoplasms of the subcutaneous tissue were observed in dosed male rats. Incidences of interstitial cell adenomas of the testis and neoplasms of the preputial gland were decreased in the 2,500-ppm group of male rats. There was no evidence of carcinogenic activity of nitrofurantoin for female F344/N rats fed diets containing 600 ppm or 1,300 ppm for 2 years. Female rats may have been able to tolerate higher doses. There was no evidence of carcinogenic activity of nitrofurantoin for male B6C3F(1) mice fed diets containing 1,300 ppm or 2,500 ppm for 2 years. There was clear evidence of carcinogenic activity of nitrofurantoin for female B6C3F(1) mice as shown by increased incidences of tubular adenomas,more »« less

Multiple-site carcinogenicity of benzene in Fischer 344 rats and B6C3F sub 1 mice

Journal Article Huff, J; Haseman, J; Eustis, S; ... - Environmental Health Perspectives; (USA)

Toxicology and carcinogenesis studies of benzene were conducted in groups of 60 F344/N rats and 60 B6C3F{sub 1} mice of each sex for each of three exposure doses and vehicle controls. Using the results from 17-week studies, doses for the 2-year studies were selected based on clinical observations, on clinical pathologic findings and on body weight effects. Doses of 0, 50, 100, or 200 mg/kg body weight benzene in corn oil were administered by gavage to male rats, 5 days per week, for 103 weeks. Doses of 0, 25, 50, or 100 mg/kg benzene in corn oil were administered bymore »« less

No evidence of carcinogenicity for L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in rodents

Journal Article Douglas, J; Huff, J - J. Toxicol. Environ. Health; (United States)

Carcinogenesis studies of L-ascorbic acid were conducted by offering diets containing 0, 25,000 or 50,000 ppm L-ascorbic acid to groups of 50 F344/N rats and 50 B6C3F/sub 1/ mice of each sex for 103 wk. Survival of dosed and control female rats and of dosed and control female mice were comparable. Survival of high-dose male rats was slightly greater than that of the controls, whereas survival of high-dose male mice was significantly greater than that of the controls. There were not observed differences in neoplasms between treated and control groups that were considered related to L-ascorbic acid. In female rats,more »« less

Carcinogenesis studies of trichloroethylene (without epichlorohydrin) (CAS No. 79-01-6) in F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice (gavage studies). Technical report series (Final)

Technical Report

Carcinogenesis studies of epichlorohydrin-free trichloroethylene were conducted by administering the test chemical in corn oil by gavage to groups of 50 male and 50 female F344/N rats and 50 B6C3F1 mice of each sex for 103 weeks. Dose levels were 500 and 1,000 mg/kg for rats and 1,000 mg/kg for mice. Under the conditions of these studies, epichlorohydrin-free trichloroethylene caused renal tubular-cell neoplasms in male F344/N rats, produced toxic nephrosis in both sexes, and shortened the survival time of males. The experiment in male F344/N rats was considered to be inadequate to evaluate the presence or absence of a carcinogenicmore »« less

Technical Report

Toxicology and carcinogenicity studies were conducted by dermal administration of diethylphthalate to groups of 60 F344/N rats of each sex at doses of 0, 100, or 300 microL and to groups of 60 B6C3F1 mice of each sex at doses of 0, 7.5, 15, or 30 microL. Neat chemical was applied to rats for 5 days per week for 103 weeks and up to 10 animals per group were evaluated after 15 months. Mice received doses in 100 microL of acetone for 5 days per weeks for 103 weeks with a 1 week recovery period, and up to 10 animalsmore »« less

Technical Report Melnick, R

Toxicology and carcinogenesis studies were conducted by administering doses of 0, 100, or 200 mg/kg tribromomethane in corn oil by gavage, 5 days per week for a period of 103 weeks, to groups of 50 rats of each sex and 50 female mice. Groups of 50 male mice were administered 0, 50, or 100 mg/kg tribromomethane on the same schedule. Under the conditions of these 2-year gavage studies, there was some evidence of carcinogenic activity of tribromomethane for male F344/N rats and clear evidence of carcinogenic activity for female F344/N rats, based on increased incidence of uncommon neoplasms of themore »« less
