Studies on the Inhibitory Effects of some Acridone Alkaloids on Epstein-Barr Virus Activation

Abstract
Twenty-five acridone alkaloids from Citrus plants were examined for their inhibitory effects on Epstein-Barr virus activation by a short-term in vitro assay. 5-Hydroxynoracronycine (20) and acrimarine-F (25) showed remarkable inhibitory effects.
