Phytol (PHY), a diterpenoid, is known for its various bio-pharmacological activities. However, its toxicological profile has yet to be evaluated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytogenotoxicological profile of PHY in Wistar albino rats. Forty-five female non-pregnant rats were treated acutely and subchronically with PHY at doses of 300 and 2000 mg/kg and 30, 60 and 90 mg/kg for 14 and 28 days. Neuropharmacological, genotoxic, and mutagenic effects were investigated. The results suggest that PHY did not cause the death of rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg, suggesting a higher range of the LD50 of this diterpenoid. Several toxicological alterations were observed in clinical and neuropharmacological parameters depending upon the doses. No hepatic histopathological changes were observed. PHY induced genotoxicity in peripheral blood, bone marrow, liver, and kidney. PHY did not show damage repair activity in peripheral blood lymphocytes. In the bone marrow, both acute and subchronic PHY treatments increased micronucleus frequency, indicating a mutagenic effect. PHY caused neuropharmacological alterations and genetic instability, possibly through the oxidative stress induction pathway.

The use of herbal products and/or their derivatives as an alternative or complementary medicine becomes globally popular. To date, various biological activities have been reported in Morinda citrifolia Linn, especially antioxidants, antimicrobial, anti-infammatory and antitumor efects. This study aimed to investigate the genotoxicity and DNA repair capacity of the aqueous fruit extract of M. citrifolia (AEMC). Additionally, we checked the mutagenic capacity of AEMC by the comet assay and micronucleus tests in rats. For this, rats (n=10; 5 males and 5 females) were divided into fve groups as: negative control (distilled water); positive control (25 mg/kg of cyclophosphamide, i.p.); and three groups for AEMC (2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg, i.p.). The results suggest that, the AEMC induced genotoxicity in white blood cells, but a DNA repair capacity was also observed after 72 h of AEMC exposure. AEMC also showed cytotoxicity and mutagenicity in liver and kidney cells of rats at 5 and 10 mg/kg doses. In conclusion, AEMC exhibited a dose-dependent cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and mutagenicity along with a time-dependent DNA repair capacity in rats. Further studies are necessary regarding the safe use of this medicinal plant for human consumption.
