a

The CC50 value is the concentration of the compound which reduces the number of viable cells by 50% and was obtained from duplicate determinations. The differences between the CC50 figures in the two bioassays are less than 5%. The maximum concentration of each compound was 400 μM except solubility considerations necessitated the highest concentration of melphalan to be 200 μM.

b

The letters SI indicate the selectivity index and is the quotient of the average CC50 figure of the three normal cells and the CC50 value of a malignant cell line.

c

With the exception of the result using HSC-4 cells, the data were reported previously26 [copyright (2005) by Elsevier].

d

The data were reported previously27 [copyright (2008) by Elsevier].
