a

Cell viability, measured by the MTT assay, was determined after exposure to different concentrations of 1 for 24 h.

b

(EC50): 50% effective concentration. (CC50): 50% cytotoxicity concentration. (SD): standard deviation. (SI): BMDM CC50/Leishmania EC50 and L929 CC50/T. cruzi EC50. (−): not applicable.
