Abstract
Four nitrosotrialkylureas were each fed to groups of 15 male and 15 female Sprague-Dawley rats for 50 weeks in drinking water at the same molar concentration. Tumors of nervous origin arose after treatment with nitrosotrimethylurea (3/30), notrosotriethylurea (7/30), nitrosomethyldiethylurea (23/30), and nitrosoethyldimethylurea (8/30). A comparison of the relative stabilities of the four nitrosoureas in aqueous solution at various pH's showed no correlation with the tumorigenicities of the compounds.Entities:
