RT - Journal Article T1 - Anti-Hepatitis B Virus Activity of Flavonoids from Marchantia convoluta JF - iums-ijpt YR - 2005 JO - iums-ijpt VO - 4 IS - 2 UR - http://ijpt.iums.ac.ir/article-1-59-en.html SP - 128 EP - 0 AB - Flavonoids from Marchantia convoluta (MCF) were studied for their ability to inhibit the proliferation of 2.2.15 cells. All concentration of MCF inhibited the secretion of HBsAg and HBeAg in the cultured medium by 2.2.15 cells. Analysis of morphological changes of MCF-treated cells by phase-contrast microscopy revealed a possible mode of action for MCF: inhibition of proliferation of 2.2.15 cells by inducing apoptosis.
