Since the discovery of the carcinogenic activity of 1, 2, 5, 6-dibenzanthracene and the isolation of 3, 4-benzpyrene from coal tar, in Kennaway's laboratory in London, a great deal of attention has been focused on the individual hydrocarbons, while interest in the crude tars has declined. It is interesting to note that, whereas rabbits were employed in the first production of malignant tumors in experimental animals by coal tar, they are rather refractory even to large doses of the pure hydrocarbons.(For literature, see Shear (7).) The possibility that other constituents of coal tar besides benzpyrene may play a part in the carcinogenic action of the crude tar has been considered in a preceding paper (2). It was found that certain fractions of creosote oil appeared to retard the production of skin tumors in mice by benzpyrene, whereas the basic fraction appeared to promote it. In those experiments, performed with female albino mice not of inbred stock, the benzene solutions employed in the painting contained 0.2 and 0.05 percent, respectively, of benzpyrene.
