Abstract

PBP-2 was observed to be the most potent polymeric polyphenol fraction and PBP-4 and PBP-5 showed only marginal activity, whereas PBP-1 and PBP-3 displayed intermediate efficacies. In conclusion, the protective effects of PBP fractions could be attributed to inhibition of TPA-induced cellular proliferation.
