Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of ginsenoside Rb2 on chromosome aberration in Chinese hamster lung(CHL) cells. METHODS:We used the method of cell counting to determine the IC50 of ginsenoside Rb2 on CHL cells,then established the range of doses according to the IC50 and performed chromosome aberration. The results were based on the chromosome number and structural changes. RESULTS:Negative response was found at 6 h and 24 h after treatment with ginsenoside Rb2 and at 6 h after the addition of S9 mixture. CONCLUSION:The ginsenoside Rb2 did not induce chromosome aberration in CHL cells under our experimental conditions.

Key words: ginsenoside Rb2, Chinese hamster lung cells, chromosome aberration
