a Cells were plated in 96-well plates incubated under a 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37 °C for 72 h in the presence of pure compounds (0.39-25 μg/mL). Each concentration was tested in triplicate and the analyses were performed in duplicate; b Data are presented as IC50 [μg/mL] values and 95% confidence interval (given in parentheses) obtained from at least three independent experiments. Compound 15 was not evaluated due to limited amount. Nd: not determined.
