Induction of pancreatic neoplasms by 2,2'-dioxopropyl-N-propylnitrosamine.
A high incidence of pancreatic duct adenomas and carcinomas were induced in Syrian golden hamsters as early as 13 weeks after chronic administration of 2,2'-dioxopropyl-n-propylnitrosamine (DOPN) at a 10 mg/kg dose. In contrast to another pancreatic carcinogen, 2,2'-dihydroxy-propyl-n-propyl-nitrosamine, DOPN induced no tumors of the upper respiratory tract or kidneys, and only a few neoplasms of the lungs and liver.
