title: Antimutagenic potential of ellagic acid isolated from Terminalia arjuna.
abstract: Antimutagenic potential of a fraction isolated from Terminalia arjuna has been evaluated in TA98 and TA100 strains of Salmonella typhimurium against direct and indirect-acting mutagens. The fraction was quite effective against S9-dependent 2AF while it showed moderate effect against NPD. The fraction was analyzed to be ellagic acid.
