Detection and chemical identification of natural bio-antimutagens. A case of the green tea factor

T Kada et al. Mutat Res. 1985 Jun-Jul.

Abstract

A bio-antimutagen, isolated from Japanese green tea (leaves of Camellia sinensis), reduced high spontaneous mutations due to altered DNA-polymerase III in a mutator strain of Bacillus subtilis. Chemical studies showed that the factor was epigallo-catechin-gallate (EGCg).
