| Abstract | Origanum majorana L (Doash) is one of the traditional remedy that is used as a tea and to treat ailments, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The present study has attempted to evaluate the inhibitory action of Doash fractions on the bioactivation of selected food mutagens and direct-acting mutagens. Four Sallmonella bacterial strains (TA98, TA97, TA100 and TA1530) were used in the present study. These strains contain different mutations in the histidine operon, allowing the bacteria to detect different types of mutation. The two strains (TA98 and TA97) are capable of detecting frameshift mutations, while TA100 and TA1530 are able to detect base-pair substitutions. The liver homogenate and other subcellular fractions were prepared. Identification of Doash fractions was conducted using the high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry system. The results of the present study demonstrated that the Doash tea fraction components have the ability to reduce the in vitro mutagencity of several promutagens, which were employed in this study. Fraction No. 5 (with the highest content of solid) was the most potent inhibitor of the mutagenicity of all promutagens employed in this study. The antimutagenic effect of Doash tea extract, and its various fractions, was pronounced, indicating that the metabolism of cytochrome P450 1A2 isozyme is likely to be inhibited. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
