Chemoprevention represents a new intervention strategy to control some type of carcinogenesis especially in subjects at high risk for cancer development. Experimental and epidemiological data indicate that a variety of nutritional factors including vitamin C and E are effective to lower the risk of some types of cancer. However large prospective studies have failed to find such significant association. A comparative and combined in vitro antimutagenic potential of two antioxidant vitamins ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and a-tocopherol (vitamin E) were evaluated using Ame's Salmonella typhimurium test assay. Directly acting mutagens such as sodium azide (NaN3) and 4-Nitro-o-phenylenediamine (NPDA), and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) were used to induce mutation in salmonella strains TA 98 and TA 100. Vitamin C significantly (P
