Abstract
The current literature data on mutagenicity of human carcinogens of natural origin are reviewed. The high correlation is established between carcinogenicity and mutagenicity of this group of agents, all 10 agents are active in the Ames assay or in the cytogenetic tests, 7 of them are mutagenic in the Ames test and 8 in cytogenetic assays.
