abstract={This study analyzed the cellular antioxidant and antiproliferative activities, as well as the phenolic composition of three <i>Morchella conica</i> Pers. cultures. Results showed that the free phenolic contents of the three <i>Morchella conica</i> Pers. ranged from 4.928 to 6.157 mg GAE/g DW and their bound phenolic contents ranged from 0.188 to 0.250 mg GAE/g DW. Polyphenols in <i>M. conica</i> Pers. were dominated by phenolic acids, particularly for gallic acid. The free phenolic extracts exhibited higher cellular antioxidant activity than the bound phenolic extracts. Free phenolics in <i>M. conica</i> Pers. cultured from Yunnan China showed the highest antiproliferative activity against HepG<SUB>2</SUB> cells, whereas bound phenolics in <i>M. conica</i> cultured from Tibet China showed the highest antiproliferative activity. Results confirmed that <i>Morchella conica</i> Pers. (growing in Yunnan China especially) could be a new source of natural antioxidant and a potential inhibitor for the growth of HepG<SUB>2</SUB> cells.},
