Abstract: Purpose : Antimutagenic effect of procyanidins f rom V itis vinif era seed was studied. Methods : A series of histidine2requiring st rains TA97 , TA98 , TA100 and TA102 were used for antimutagenicity test . Severalmutagenic agent s such as Sodium Azide (NaN3 ) , Mitomycine C (MMC) , Dexon , 2-AF , 1 , 8-Dihydroxyanthrachinon were used to make mutagenic model and antimutagenic effect s of procyanidins were observed. Every tester st rain was divided into model group , spontaneous mutation group and drug groups. Results : The result showed that procyanidins inhibited mutagenic effect s induced by the most of the model agent s , but little inhibitory effect was observed on TA102 reverse mutation induced by 1 ,82Dihydroxyanthrachinon ( + S9) . Conclusion : Antimutagenesis is one of mechanism chemoprevention of cancer of procyanidins.
