✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Human lymphocytes were used as an assay system to test chemopreventive activity of natural products. Purnark, a mixture of extracts of turmeric, betel leaf and catechu, was tested for its chemoprotective activity against BP induced DNA damage. Sister chromatid exchange and micronuclei were used as markers to assess the protective activity of Purnark. Purnark gave 50‐60 % protection against BP induced SCEs and micronuclei. Purnark at 1000μg dose did not show any genotoxicity.
