title: [Experimental study of the antimutagenic properties of 5-methylresorcinol].
abstract: A study was made of the effect of 5-methylresorcinol (5-MR) on mutagenic activity of benzo(a)pyrene (BP) and of the action of gamma-radiation in in-vitro and in-vivo systems. The induction of direct gene mutations in Chinese hamster cells V-79 and micronuclei in mouse bone marrow reticulocytes was efficiently suppressed by 5-MR treatment. The antimutagenic activity of 5-MR can be explained by inhibition of free-radical processes.
