title: Correlation of tumour-inhibiting activity with acute toxicity.
abstract: We have developed predictive equations for the anti-carcinogenic activity of 21 phenolic anti-oxidants against forestomach tumours in mice. One of these equations was then used to predict the anti-carcinogenic activity of a further 25 phenolic compounds. It was found that anti-carcinogenic activity correlated well with acute toxicity to the fathead minnow.
