UMU Applied for Screening Herb and Plant Extracts or Pure Phytochemicals for Antimutagenic Activity
In: Phytochemial Society of North America 50th Anniversary Meeting, December 10-15, 2011, Hawaii.
Résumé
Antimutagenic activities of twelve herb extracts and twenty two plant extracts or pure phytochemicals assessed using a method based on the umu test system for screening natural antimutagens. All herb extracts tested showed antimutagenic properties except for Italian parsley that had mutagenic activity. Sage, mint, vervaine and oregano were the most antimutagenic. With regard to the metabolites, those from most herb extracts showed antimutagenic properties and those from garlic and thyme showed very strong antimutagenic activities, while those from camomile, rosemary and tarragon showed mutagenic activities, and those from celeriac and sage showed very strong mutagenic activities. Among pure compounds, pycnogenol metabolites showed strong antimutagenic activities.
