Omeprazole was tested in chromosomal aberration (CA) and sister chromatid exchange (SCE) assays using cultured human lymphocytes in vitro. While CA is a standard battery of test system in mutagenicity studies, SCE is considered to be the most simple reliable and sensitive index of DNA damage/repair. Omeprazole was found to be non toxic in both these tests.
