Table 4.

List of compounds that were deemed astro-toxic, using ‘cell density at time of compound application’ as a baseline.

Astro-Toxic Compound Categorization Cell Density relative to 2 Day HIT? MTT-Based Astro-toxic by Pei et al
 Methyl mercuric (II) chloride DNT/NT 0.0 YES YES (100 μM)
 Bis(tributyltin)oxide DNT/NT 0.0 YES NO
 Valinomycin Other 21.7 YES YES (100 μM)
 Colchicine DNT/NT 47.8 YES YES (100 μM)
 2-Methyoxyethanol DNT/NT 74.5 YES YES (10 and 100 μM)
 Benzo(b)fluoranthene PAH 79.6 YES NO
 Berberine chloride Other 80.9 YES NO
Negative Controls
 Acetaminophen NC 150.3 NO YES (100 μM)
 L-Ascorbic acid NC 143.9 NO YES (10 and 100 μM)
 D-Glucitol NC 138.2 NO YES (100 μM)
 Acetylsalicylic acid NC 148.4 NO YES (100 μM)
 Saccharin Sodium Salt hydrate NC 136.3 NO NO

The cell density of individual wells treated with corresponding compounds is listed. This compiles all the compounds from the library that were categorized as astro-toxic, as well as compounds originally included in the library as negative controls for neurotoxicity.
