[Anti-promoting and anti-mutagenic actions of G9315]
Abstract:
G9315, a complex extracted from Glycyrrhizae inflata Bat (III), consists of 6 flavonoids with significant antioxidant effects. At 1 mg dose it inhibited the mouse ear edema induced by croton oil, and showed strong anti-promoting effects on two-stage carcinogenesis in mouse skin induced by DMBA plus croton oil. The TPA enhanced 32Pi-incorporation into phospholipid fraction in HeLa cells was inhibited, and the micronuclei in mouse bone marrow cells induced by cytoxan was also depressed.
