Abstract:Due to daily exposure to several compounds with mutagenic potential, it is extremely important to find antimutagenic agents, as here proposed to vanillin and betulin found in Dipteryx alata plant, evaluated by the Salmonella/microsome assay and resveratrol as reference. The antimutagenicity test employs mutagens that are incubated with a test substance to assess the inhibitory ability of the mutagenicity, interpreted as absent, moderate, or strong when the percentage of inhibition is lower than 25%; between 25… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
