Notes: a IC50 is defined as the concentration that results in a 50% decrease in the number of cells compared to that of the control groups. Human ovarian cancer cells were treated with various concentration of deoxyschizandrin for 48 h and cell viability was determined using MTT assay. The values represent the mean ± SD of the results from three independent experiments.
