Chemical carcinogenesis studies in nonhuman primates

Abstract: This review covers chemical carcinogenesis studies in nonhuman primates performed by the National Cancer Institute, USA, to provide hitherto unavailable information on their susceptibility to compounds producing carcinogenic effects in rodents. From autopsy records of 401 breeders and untreated controls, incidences of spontaneous malignant tumors were found to be relatively low in cynomolgus (1.9%) and rhesus monkeys (3.8%), but higher in African green monkeys (8%). Various chemical compounds, and in particula… Show more

“…Ennever and Lave (2003) also have discussed the chemical combination of aspirin/phenacetin/ caffeine, which is classified as a human carcinogen but tested negative in both rodent species (Ennever and Lave, 2003 In the absence of human data, it might be considered reasonable to use data from tests in nonhuman primates for comparative purposes. Cancer bioassays in nonhuman primates were carried out on 37 compounds within 34 years (Takayama et al, 2008); the results were "... Inconclusive in many cases," but carcinogenicity was shown unequivocally for four of them.…”

“…For example, over a 34-year period the US National Cancer Institute carried out an investigation of 37 chemicals in long-term studies in NHP. 171,172 Two of the immunosuppressant drugs of interest cyclophosphamide and azathioprine were included in this program. The results from the cyclophosphamide study were considered to be inconclusive.…”

“…In the 1970s, HCAs a mutagenic class of compound were detected in cooked meat (Sugimura et al 1997). From the Ames test, the researchers have identified numerous substances which display enormously high mutagenic potency; 100 to 100000 times greater than N-nitroso compounds and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Nagao et al 1977;Takayama et al 2008;De Stefani et al 1997).…”
