Journal ArticleDOI
Antimutagens and anticarcinogens: a survey of putative interceptor molecules.
TL;DR: Although they serve as a first line of defense against mutagens and carcinogens, many interceptor molecules are under‐investigated with regard to their spectra of activity and their possible relevance to prophylaxis or treatment of human disease states.

Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple drug resistance.
TL;DR: This review summarizes the known origins of the problem, its present dimensions, the means employed to combat the phenomenon and promising avenues for future developments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural antimutagenic agents.
TL;DR: Findings in the author's laboratories employing the direct acting mutagen, ethyl methanesulfonate, in modified Ames tests and eukaryotic murine FM3A mammary tumor cells modified to be subject to thymidine-less death are described to illustrate the underlying principles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of Caffeine Enhancement of Mutations Induced by Sublethal Ultraviolet Dosages
TL;DR: The results indicated that caffeine prevents excision of thymine dimers, presumably by binding to the excising enzyme, which results in an impairment of repair, which produces the increase in mutant numbers.
