Cytotoxicity of taxol and nocodazole in human mesenchymal stem cells

Drug	Concentration (nm)	Time (days)	Trypan blue‐positive cells (%)
No drug			16.05 ± 2.19
Taxol	10	3	30.7 ± 1.31
Taxol	500	3	40.3 ± 1.84
Nocodazole	325	3	16.8 ± 1.41
Taxol	10	3 + 3	10.3 ± 0.23
Taxol	500	3 + 3	9.2 ± 0.85
Nocodazole	325	3 + 3	8.6 ± 1.20

Cells were cultured under normal conditions (No drug) or treated for 3 days with microtubule‐interacting drugs, then cultured without drugs for 3 days (3 + 3). Results are expressed as percentage of total cells. Values are means ± standard error of three measurements in three separate experiments.
