Human ovarian carcinoma (1A9), human lung carcinoma (A549), breast cancer (MCF-7), human prostate carcinoma (LN-CAP, PC-3, DU-145), human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC), human epidermoid carcinoma of the nasopharynx (KB), multi-drug resistant expressing P-glycoprotein (KB-VIN) and human embryonic fibroblast (MRC-5).

a

Cytotoxicity as ED50 values for each cell line, the concentration of compound that caused 50% reduction in absorbance at 562 nm relative to untreated cells using the sulforhodamine B assay.

b

Test compound (20 μg/mL) did not reach 50% inhibition.
