Abstract
Higher plants synthesize a myriad of structurally varied biologically active secondary metabolites. These compounds have been subjected to wide experimental scrutiny for various therapeutic potentials. In this review, the promise of these secondary phytochemicals as natural antimutagens has been focused upon. The compounds belonging to various chemical classes which have until now, been isolated and characterized with potential antimutagenicity are described. Besides making an extensive survey of structurally well characterized antimutagenic agents of the plant kingdom, antimutagenicity screening results of extracts of edible plants such as cereals, pulses, vegetables, oil-seeds and other health and tonic herbs reported up to date are reviewed.
