The inhibitory effects of persimmon leaves on the mutagenicity in spore rec assay and on the growth of HT-29 Human Colon Cancer cells and AZ-521 human gastric cancer cells were studied. Methanol extract of persimmon leaves inhibited the mutagenicity induced by N-methyl-N-nitro-Nnitrosoguanidine(MNNG) in spore rec assay.The hexane, chloroform and ethylacetate fraction from the methanol extract exhibited strong antimutagenicity against MNNG in spore rec assay. The methanol extract of persimmon leaves also revealed the inhibitory effects on the growth of HT-29 human colon cancer cells and AZ-521 Human gastric cancer cells. Among the growth of HT-29 and AZ-521 cells by 100 percent.
