SI selectivity index, C. crude, E. extract, F. fraction, 1: M. azedarach L., 2: A. indica, ND not detected due to its insolubility;

* IC50 values were calculated in μg mL-1.

** The sample was not toxic in concentrations less than 650 μg mL-1 and insoluble in concentrations more than it.

*** The sample was not toxic in concentrations less than 1000 μg mL-1.
