Isolation and Identification of Antimutagenic Constituents in Hotbed Chives / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Fresh hotbed chives solutions were extracted respectively by ether, acetic ether and n-butyl alcohol and protein constituents and non-protein constituents were obtained. Ether extractions (non-protein constituents) had the strongest antirriutagenic effects by the SOS chromotest Non-protein constituents of hotbed chives were analysed further by gas chromatography-mass spectrum and 30 chemical substances were isolated and identified. Their antimutagenic substances may be dimethyl disulfide, 4-methyl-2-pyridinethione, di-2-propenyl trisulfide, 3-(allylthio)-propionic acid.
