A potent pancreatic carcinogen in Syrian hamsters: N-nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine. 1977

P Pour, and J Althoff, and F W Krüger, and U Mohr

N-Nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine (BOP), a further postulated beta-metabolite of di-n-propylnitrosamine, induced a high incidence of pancreatic duct adenomas and adenocarcinomas as early as 13 weeks in Syrian hamsters receiving weekly sc injections for life and a few pancreatic adenomas, after 28 weeks, in those given a single sc dose. Compared to related compounds, N-nitrosobis(2-hydroxypropyl)amine and N-nitrosobis(2-acetoxy-propyl)amine which are also pancreatic carcinogens, BOP induced only a few neoplasms of the lung, liver, and kidney and none in the nasal cavity, larynx, and trachea. The results therefore indicate progress in developing a more specific model for pancreatic carcinogenesis studies.

D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).
