Abstract

Fireweed (Chamaenerion angustifolium) lipophilic constituents were investigated by GC-MS analysis. 28 aliphatic and 6 triterpenic acids were found out at first time. Pomolic acid genotoxicity and mutagenicity were analyzed by Ames test and SOS chromotest. Genotoxic and mutagenic properties of pomolic acid were not detected.
