OBJECTIVE To observe the activity of myricanol and myricanol 5-fluorobenzyloxy ether(5FEM) on liver cancer of cell HepG_2 in vitro. METHODS Myricanol(25, 12.5 and 6.25 μg·m L~(-1)) and 5FEM(25, 12.5 and 6.25 μg·m L~(-1)) were prepared to act on HepG_2 cells, real time cellular analysis was used to record 96 h cell index(CI) to observe the effect of Myricanol and 5FEM on the proliferation and migration of HepG_2 cells. RESULTS Myricanol and 5FEM could inhibit the proliferation and migration of HepG_2 cells, ...
