Abstract
Disulfiram, diethyldithiocarbamate, and bis-(ethylxanthogen) inhibit symmetrical 1,2-dimethylhydrazine dihydrochloride (DMH)-induced neoplasia of the large bowel in female CF1 mice. These three compounds contain a carbon disulfide (CS2) moiety in their structure. In the present study, CS2 itself was found to inhibit DMH-induced neoplasia of the large bowel in female CF1 mice. Thus a relatively simple compound is now available for investigation of the mechanism of inhibition of DMH-induced neoplasia by a group of sulfur-containing inhibitors having common structural features.
