Comparative effect of fractionated extracts from eDCM and eEtAc on glioma and astrocyte cell viability. Glioma cell lines were exposed to increasing concentrations of F1DCM, F2DCM, F3DCM, F4DCM, F3EtAcand F4EtAc fractions (A–F, respectively). In addition, primary astrocyte cultures (G) were exposed to the higher concentration of F1DCM (10 μg/mL), F2DCM (75 μg/mL), F3DCM (10 μg/mL), F4DCM (10 μg/mL), F3EtAc (100 μg/mL) and F4EtAc (100 μg/mL) fractions. Cell viability was determined by MTT test after 48 h of treatment. The values represent the mean ± SEM from at least three independent experiments performed in triplicate. Data were analyzed by ANOVA followed by post-hoc comparisons (Tukey test). a, b, c Significantly different from C6, U87MG, and U138MG control cells, respectively (P < 0.001).
