Table 1. The growth-inhibitory activity of silvestrol and 10 related rocaglates lacking the dioxanyl ring in NF1+/+ STS26T and NF1−/− ST8814 MPNST, Nf2−/− schwannoma, and NF2−/− meningioma cells.

The average IC50 value of each rocaglate was determined by 3-day resazurin proliferation assays as described in Methods. Didesmethylrocaglamide (DDR) and rocaglamide (Roc) were found to possess growth-inhibitory activity similar to or more potent than silvestrol. ND, not determined.
