Figure 1.
In vitro cytotoxic effects of metronomic and conventional doses of PMX on (A) A549 cells and (B) HUVECs. Cells were exposed to PMX at various concentrations (0–10 µg/mL) for 72 h. Metronomic dosing was simulated by aspirating and replacing the medium with fresh drug-containing medium after 24 and 48 h. Data are presented as means ± SEM (n = 8 for each group). *** p < 0.001 compared to the untreated control group (metronomic dosing). ### p < 0.001 compared to the untreated control group (conventional dosing). $ p < 0.05 compared to the conventional treatment group at the same drug concentration. A549, human lung carcinoma cell line; HUVEC: human umbilical vein endothelial cell line; PMX: pemetrexed.
