Abstract

The extracts of aerial parts of Artemisia princeps var. orientalis, A. argyi, A. capillaris, A. rubripes and A. laciniata were investigated on the antimutagenic effect againt aflatoxin $B_1$ $(AFB_1)$. The methanolic extracts of 5 Artemisia species reduced the mutagenicity of $AFB_1$. And also 4,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid isolated from A. princeps var. orientalis revealed the antimutagenic activity.
