Table 2. In vitro cytotoxicity of the tested compounds M1–M5 against two normal human cell lines: lung-derived fibroblasts (WI-38) and normal breast epithelial cells (MCF-10A) after 48 hours of treatmentb.
| Comp. | IC50a (µM ± SEM) | |
|---|---|---|
| WI-38 | MCF-10A | |
| M1 | 31.22 ± 2.1*,# | 27.51 ± 6.20NS |
| M2 | 27.19 ± 1.8*,# | 81.18 ± 11.62*,# |
| M3 | 62.93 ± 3.5*,# | 55.61 ± 7.59* |
| M4 | 58.66 ± 3.3*,# | 58.41 ± 6.57* |
| M5 | 76.32 ± 3.8*,# | 42.82 ± 7.08 NS |
| Sorafenib | 10.65 ± 0.8 | 47.06 ± 4.99 |
| Doxorubicin | 6.72 ± 0.5 | 12.20 ± 2.64 |
Data are presented as means of the IC50 values ± SEM based on three independent experiments.
*p < 0.05 from Doxorubicin; #p < 0.05 from Sorafenib; “NS” represents non-significant from either Doxorubicin or Sorafenib “p > 0.05” using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with the Tukey–Kramer test as a post hoc test.
