Popis: | Total phenolic plant flavonoids obtained from Thuia accidentalis L. and Cupressus sempevirens L. showed antimutagenic effects on benzo(a) pyrene [B(a)P] in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100 and TA98. The n-butanol extract was more effective then chloroform and petrol eum-ether extracts, respectively. Aqueous extracts exhibited no inhibition in both strains. Total flavonoids from C. sempevirens showed more antimutagenic activity than flavonoids from T. accidentalis. None of the extracts revealed any cytotoxic or mutagenic activity on the bacterial tester strains. |
