Vanillin (VAN) and cinnamaldehyde (CIN) are dietary flavorings that exhibit antimutagenic activity against mutagen-induced and spontaneous mutations in bacteria. Although these compounds were antimutagenic against chromosomal mutations in mammalian cells, they have not been studied for antimutagenesis against spontaneous gene mutations in mammalian cells. Thus, we initiated studies with VAN and...

This conference, attended by scientists from 27 countries, focused on the most recent advances in the field of antimutagenesis and anticarcinogenesis. Particular emphasis was given to the mechanistic approach, which is believed to be an essential prerequisite for a safer and more effective implementation of chemoprevention of cancer and of mutation-related diseases. The arrangement of the six r...

We have determined the abilities of (E)-ferulic acid, (E)-p-coumaric acid and (E,E)-5-5-dehydrodiferulic acid to protect against different types of mutation in a simple bacterial model. These antimutagenic properties were compared with those of the related compound curcumin, and also with those of an extract containing hydroxycinnamic acids obtained by the saponification of the cell walls of wh...
