Data represent mean IC50 values ± standard deviation (n = 3).

Selectivity index determined as a ratio of the IC50 immortalized RPE-1 normal cell to the IC50 of cancer cell lines is indicated.

ND = at 50 and 25 μg/ml the extracts and etoposide, respectively, failed to induce 50% growth; hence, no IC50 value was determined.

Different letters between the rows in each column represent significant differences between the extracts (p < 0.05).

Asterisks represent significant differences between the extracts and etoposide (positive control),

*p ≤ 0.05,

**p ≤ 0.01,

***p ≤ 0.001,

****p ≤ 0.0001.
