Antimutagenic

Antimutagenic activity is a type of medicinal activity that involves the prevention of genetic mutations. These mutations can be caused by environmental factors, such as radiation and chemicals, as well as by certain genetic conditions. Antimutagenic activity can be achieved through the use of certain compounds and drugs that can bind to and neutralize the mutagen, thus preventing it from damaging the genetic material. This type of medicinal activity can be used to help prevent cancer, birth defects, and other genetic diseases, as well as to help protect against environmental hazards.
