Figure 3. Effect of silymarin against CHIKV cell entry.
Silymarin does not exhibit statistically significant (P > 0.05) dose-dependent inhibition against CHIKV internalization to the Vero cells. Vehicle–treated (0.1% DMSO) cells were used as control (“0”) concentration). Data from triplicate assays were plotted and analyzed from a non-parametric correlation (Spearman) two-tailed test (Graph Pad Prism Version 5, Graph Pad Software Inc., San Diego, CA).
