Abstract

The antimutagenic effects of methanolic extracts of peanut hulls (MEPH) were evaluated by the Ames test. MEPH inhibited the mutagenicity of 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (NQNO), a direct-acting mutagen. MEPH also inhibited the mutagenicity of some indirect-acting mutagens and decreased in the order of 2-amino-3-methyl-imidazo(4,5-f)quinoline (IQ) > aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) > 2-amino-6-methyldipyrido(1,2-a:3',2'-d)imidazole (Glu-P-1) > 3 amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H-pyridol(4,3-b)indole (Trp-P-1) > benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P for S. typhimurium TA98, and IQ > Trp-P-1 > Glu-P-1 > AFB1 > B(a)P for S. typhimurium TA100.
