Carcinogencity Bioassays of Bisphenol A, 4-Vinylcyclohexene Diepoxide, and 4-Vinycyclohexene

To the Editor:
Two papers (Yoshihara et al., 2001
; Devine et al., 2001
) in the August issue of Toxicological Sciences dealt with chemicals that have been tested for carcinogenicity by the National Toxicology Program (NTP). Both papers explored mechanisms of toxicity of these chemicals; the former dealt with metabolic activation of bisphenol A, and the latter explored mechanisms of ovarian toxicity (Hoyer et al., 2001
), both perhaps relevant to the carcinogenicity of these chemicals. Because neither of the articles mentioned these NTP bioassays, I wish to bring this additional and relevant information to the attention of your readers, especially with the renewed interest in bisphenol A, a well-known environmental endocrine disruptor chemical.
