Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study of the Preparation of Cyclic Azo Compounds, and the Fine Structure of Naphthalene: Thesis
Blue, has been used by one worker tumors to the action of X-rays, though it has also been shown2 that it lowers the resistance of animals to the growth of tumors.
On this evidence it would seem that the effect of an azo compound may vary, from producing proliferation which may be malignant or benign, to causing reduction or at least retarding the growth of malignant cells.
It was thought, therefore, that if some cyclic azo compounds (of more complex structure than the simple ones already known and corresponding some what to fused carbocyclic cancer-producing compounds) were to be synthesized, some further information of value might be obtained.
