PY - 2018 DA - 2018/03/15 TI - The mutagenic and antimutagenic activity of Sutherlandia frutescens extracts and marker compounds JO - BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine SP - 93 VL - 18 IS - 1 AB - Sutherlandia frutescens (L.) R. Br is endemic to Southern Africa where it has been traditionally used for cancer and diabetes. In recent times it has been marketed for its reputed (but not proven) anticancer, antidiabetic and anti-HIV properties. Little is known about the mutagenic and antimutagenic potential of extracts and common marker compounds of Sutherlandia frutescens. Therefore this study aimed to investigate the putative efficacy and possible long-term adverse effects of using this herb.
