1.	Carcinogenesis 10/15/1990 - "These results strongly suggest that this sulfuric acid ester is an important ultimate electrophilic and carcinogenic metabolite in carcinogenesis by 6-hydroxymethylbenzo[a]pyrene and possibly even by 6-methylbenzo[a]pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene in mouse liver." 08/01/1978 - "The skin tumor-initiating activities of benzo[a]pyrene (BP), 6-hydroxymethylbenzo[a]pyrene (6-OH-CH2-BP), and 6-methylbenzo[a]pyrene (6-CH3-BP), as well as the effects of 7,8-benzoflavone (7,8-BF), quercetin, and 1-benzylimidazole on their activity, were determined in outbred female CD-1 mice by use of a two stage system of tumorigenesis.

Neoplasms (Cancer) 09/01/1978 - "Comparative tumor initiating activity of 10-methylbenzo-[a]pyrene, 7,10-dimethylbenzo[a]pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene." 08/01/1978 - "The skin tumor-initiating activities of benzo[a]pyrene (BP), 6-hydroxymethylbenzo[a]pyrene (6-OH-CH2-BP), and 6-methylbenzo[a]pyrene (6-CH3-BP), as well as the effects of 7,8-benzoflavone (7,8-BF), quercetin, and 1-benzylimidazole on their activity, were determined in outbred female CD-1 mice by use of a two stage system of tumorigenesis.
