Figure 1. Effects of lycorine hydrochloride on the viability of renal carcinoma cells in vitro.

(A) The chemical structure of lycorine hydrochloride. (B) Renca cells were treated with serial dilutions of lycorine hydrochloride (0, 0.5, 1, 5, and 10 μM) for 96 h. Cell viability was evaluated via the XTT assay. (C) The XTT assay for Caki-1, ACHN, KPK-1, and Renca cells following treatment with 5 μM lycorine hydrochloride for 96 h. Each point represents the mean value ± SD. *P ≤ 0.05. Experiments were performed in triplicate.
