a

A549 (lung carcinoma), MDA-MB-231 (triple-negative breast cancer), MCF-7 (estrogen receptor-positive & HER2-negative breast cancer), KB (epidermoid carcinoma of the nasopharynx), KB-VIN (Pgp-overexpressing MDR subline of KB).

b

Antiproliferative activity as IC50 values for each cell line, the concentration of compound that caused 50% reduction relative to untreated cells determined by the SRB assay.
