Carcinogenic evaluation of 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane via the mouse skin bioassay.

Female SENCAR mice initiated with 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane (DMDNB) and promoted with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorol-13-acetate (TPA) via the SENCAR mouse skin bioassay did not exhibit a significant increase in skin tumors. The mice received 20 mg kg-1 DMDNB divided into six intragastric doses over 2 weeks and were promoted three times per week for 20 weeks.
