Abstract

The study was carried out to evaluate the antimutagenic and anticancer effects of small water dropwort. The methanol extracts from small water dropwort significantly reduced the mutagenicity induced by aflatoxin $B_1\;(AFB_1)$ and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine(MNNG) in Salmonella typhimutium TA 100. Also, the methanol extracts inhibited the growth of AZ-521 human gastric cancer cells and HT-29 colon cancer cells. The chloroform fraction from methanol extracts of small water dropwort inhibited $40\;to\;80\%$ of the mutagenicity by $AFB_1$ in Sal. typhimurium TA 100 by the addition of 2.5 to $10\%$. To separate active compounds, the chloroform fraction was subjected to column chromatography on a silica gel and separated into five fractions. Among the five fractions, fraction 4 showed the highest antimutagenic effect against $AFB_1$ and an anticancer effect in the HT-29 colon cancer cell. As the result of the analysis in GC-MS, 1-napthalene carbonitrile, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrol and benzene, 1,1'-(1,4-pentadiene-1,5-diyl) bis-,(E,E) were identified potentially from fraction 4.
