Structure-carcinogenic activity relationships in the Benz [a] anthracene series. 1977

M S Newman, and W M Hung

The syntheses of 1,7,12-trimethyl- and 2,7,12-trimethylbenz[a]anthracenes are described. The lack of carcinogenic activity of these compounds is discussed in relationship to the carcinogenic activity of other substituted benz[a]anthracenes.

D013329 Structure-Activity Relationship The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups.
