Breast cancer cell line BT-549 was adapted to grow isolatedly with 2000 ng/ml of 5-FU, 40 ng/ml of DOC and 20 ng/ml of DOX; MDA-MB-468 cell line was grown similarly with 2000 ng/ml of 5-FU, 20 ng/ml of DOC and 200 ng/ml of DOX. Then 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of each drug was determined by MTT assay. The values are means of three independent experiments performed in triplicate ± SEM. p values<0.05 were considered to be statistically significant.
