 1-Ethenylpyrene (1-Vinylpyrene) is an anti-chemical carcinogen that inhibits the formation of skin tumors initiated by either DMBA (HY-W011845) or Benzo[a]pyrene (HY-107377)[1].
 |  | [in vivo] 
 
 Application of 44 nmol of 1-Ethenylpyrene (1-Vinylpyrene) inhibits tumor initiation by 10 nmol of DMBA approximately 30%; application of 4.4 μmol of 1-Ethenylpyrene (1-Vinylpyrene) inhibits tumor initiation by 200 nmol of Benzo[a]pyrene approximately 56%[1]. |  | [References]
