Abstract
From a study of 239 aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds causing skin cancer in mice, a quantitative structure-activity relationship has been derived. Carcinogenicity depends heavily on the relative hydrophobicity of the chemicals as defined by octanol/water partition coefficients (log P). It is also correlated with the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital and the presence of substituents on the L and K regions of the carcinogen. The results are discussed in terms of the bay region concept for carcinogenic activity.Entities:
