摘要
Tinidazole has been reported mutagenic in various test systems, besides having anti-protozoal properties. In the present study the effect of apigenin was studied against the genotoxic doses tinidazole using chromosomal aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges as a parameter in cultured human peripheral blood lymphocytes. A significant dose dependent decrease in chromosomal aberration and sister chromatid exchange was observed when the tinidazole genotoxic doses treatments were given along with the non-genotoxic doses of apigenin. The results suggest a protective role of apigenin against the tinidazole genotoxic doses.
