Abstract
Sixty-two Egyptian food and medicinal preparations were extensively examined for antimutagenic/anticarcinogenic activity using short-term and host-mediated assays. The antimutagenic activity of the substances examined was ranked as follows: thirteen (strong), seven (mild) and five (weak) after metabolic activation. Metabolic activation seems to be necessary for most antimutagenic substances in this study, e.g. radish inhibits 29% of mutagenicity produced in direct antimutagenic assay and inhibits 89% of mutagenicity induced in host-mediated assay.
