Inhibitory effects of anthraquinones and bianthraquinones on Epstein-Barr virus activation.
Short-term in vitro assays for anti-tumor promoters were carried out for several anthraquinones and bianthraquinones, which were isolated from Cassia siamea and derived from cascaroside A. Anthraquinone monomers showed higher anti-tumor promoting activity than that of bianthraquinones.
