Table 2.

Intracellular delivery score (IDS) larger than 9 were defined as optimal treatment conditions using propidium iodide (PI) for the delivery efficiency (D) and cell membrane permeability (P) and LIVE/DEAD Cell Imaging kit for cell viability (V).

Intracellular delivery score (IDS) were defined as optimal treatment conditions for small-molecules, which enabled simultaneous satisfaction of high percentage of delivery efficiency and high cell membrane permeability with minimal influence to cells.
