2-Methylfuran (2-MF) exists naturally in foods and is used as a flavoring agent. Furan, the core structure of 2-MF, possesses hepatocarcinogenicity in rodents. Accumulation of toxicological information on furan derivatives is needed to elucidate thei...

Determining chemical carcinogenicity in the early stages of drug discovery is fundamentally important to prevent the adverse effect of carcinogens on human health. There has been a recent surge of interest in developing computational approaches to pr...
2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is one of the most widely used herbicides in the world, but its mutagenic and carcinogenic potential is still controversial. We simulated environmental exposure to 2,4-D, with the objective of evaluating the gen...
In Tg-rasH2 carcinogenicity mouse models, a positive control group is treated with a carcinogen such as urethane or N-nitroso-N-methylurea to test study validity based on the presence of the expected proliferative lesions in the transgenic mice. We h...
BACKGROUND: Substructure screening is widely applied to evaluate the molecular potency and ADMET properties of compounds in drug discovery pipelines, and it can also be used to interpret QSAR models for the design of new compounds with desirable phys...
Bhas 42 cell transformation assay (CTA) has been used to estimate the carcinogenic potential of chemicals by exposing Bhas 42 cells to carcinogenic stimuli to form colonies, referred to as transformed foci, on the confluent monolayer. Transformed foc...

Carcinogenicity is one of the most critical endpoints for the risk assessment of food contact chemicals (FCCs). However, the carcinogenicity of FCCs remains insufficiently investigated. To fill the data gap, the application of standard experimental m...
MOTIVATION: Molecular carcinogenicity is a preventable cause of cancer, but systematically identifying carcinogenic compounds, which involves performing experiments on animal models, is expensive, time consuming and low throughput. As a result, carci...
The genome of a eukaryotic cell is often vulnerable to both intrinsic and extrinsic threats owing to its constant exposure to a myriad of heterogeneous compounds. Despite the availability of innate DNA damage responses, some genomic lesions trigger m...

Genes are composed of DNA and each gene has a specific sequence. Recombination or replication within the gene base ends in a permanent change in the nucleotide collection in a DNA called mutation and some mutations can lead to cancer. Breast adenocar...
