Abstract: Yi Tong Shu, a Chinese medicine, was examined for mutagenicity with cultured CHL cell chromosome aberration test , Ames test and micronucleus test of PCE in mouse bone marrow. The result s showed that Yi Tong Shu with 5 doses (0. 00625ml/ plate - 0. 1ml/ plate) didn’t increase the reversion mutation frequencies in st rain TA97 , TA98 , TA100 and TA102 with or without S9 in the Ames test ; It didn’t increase the frequencies of micronucleus in PCE and chromosome aberrations in CHL cells.

Key words: Yi Tong Shu, Chinese medicine, Mutagenicity
