Abstract

The furanoacridone alkaloid isogravacridonchlorine has been isolated from the roots of Ruta graveolens, the structure was elucidated by spectroscopic means. Its mutagenic activity and mode of action was characterized without as well as with metabolic activation using different Salmonella typhimurium strains.

Key words

Ruta graveolens - furanoacridone alkaloid - isogravacridonchlorine - frameshift mutagen - mutagenic response - Salmonella typhimurium
