Chlorophyllin inhibits carcinogenetic effects of aflatoxin B1 Breinholt, V., Schimerlik, M., Dashwood, R., Bailey, G. Chem. Res. Toxicol. 1995. 8: 506-514. Background: Aflatoxin B1 is a toxin produced by a fungus (Aspergillus) which grows on cereal grains, various tree nuts and legumes. It is thought by many to be the most potent…
Brett, DW. Wounds, 17(7):190-195. 2005. Background: Chlorophyllin, derived from the plant pigment, chlorophyll, has been used for many years to accelerate wound healing and to provide odour control. Chlorophyllin also shows activity as an anti-coagulation and an anti-inflammatory agent. These actions of chlorophyllin explain, at least to some extent, its…
Mechanisms of chlorophyllin anticarcinogenesis against aflatoxin B1: Complex formation with the carcinogen. Breinholt, V., Schimerlik, M., Dashwood, R., Bailey, G. 1995. Chem. Res. Toxicol. 1906.8, 506-514. Background: Aflatoxins are fungal poisons that are also potent cancer-causing agents (carcinogens). Aflatoxin B1 is produced by a species of fungus, Aspergillus that is…
