Abstract

The induction of pancreatic ductal-ductular adenomas (P=.05) and carcinomas (P<.0001) by N-nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine [(BOP) CAS: 60599-38-4; 2, 2′-dioxo-N-nitrosodipropylamine] in Syrian golden hamsters was inhibited by nicotinamide (NA) (350 mg/kg body wt, ip) administered 10 minutes before and 3 hours after a single dose of BOP (10 mg/kg body wt, sc). The anticancer effect of NA and its relatively low toxicity in humans may provide a new lead in human cancer prevention.
