TABLE 1.

Effect of bharangin on apoptosis induced by TNF-α and chemotherapeutic agents in tumor cells

Cells were pretreated with the indicated concentrations of bharangin, and then incubated with chemotherapeutic agents (1 nM TNF-α, 0.1 μM 5-FU, and 10 μg/ml thalidomide) for 24 h. Cell viability was analyzed by measuring mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity. Values given are mean ± S.D. of four replicates.
