In the mutagenicity study, the methanol extracts of the aerial parts of H.bonariensis showed significant different (p<O.05) when compared to the negative control which shows positive response mutagenic effect at the concentration of 50 mg/ml with the mean number of revertant colony of 36.7 ± 6.4 for strain S.typhimurium TA 98 with the presence of metabolic activation (+S9). However, no mutagenic effect was observed by the roots of H.bonariensis in both extracts. On the other hand, the methanol extracts of the aerial parts of C.asiatica showed mutagenicity effect when tested in the presence of metabolic activation (+S9) by S.typhimurium TA 98 strain. The methanol extracts of the aerial parts of C.asiatica showed a significant difference (p<O.05) when compared to the negative control in all concentrations studied and also a dose-response relationship. The mean number of revertant colony at concentration of 50 mg/ml was 94.0 ± 2.6, 66.3 ± 7.8 for the concentration of 12.5 mg/ml and 38.0 ± 2.6 for the concentration of 3.125 mg/ml. No mutagenic effects were seen when treated with C.asiatica roots in both aqueous and methanol extracts. In contrast, both aerial parts and roots of H.bonariensis and C.asiatica in aqueous and methanol extracts exhibited an antimutagenic effect against direct mutagen. The strong antimutagenic effect was found in methanol extracts of C.asiatica aerial parts and roots against the direct mutagen in Sityphimurium TA 98 with the percentage of inhibition valued 64.39% and 67.80°A> respectively. In conclusion, both extracts of H.bonariensis and C.asiatica aerial parts and roots have alkaloid, phenol and tannins and also antioxidant capacity which possibly contribute to the antimutagenic potential against direct mutagen by both plants species.
