a

IC50 values were calculated from concentration–response curves. Values are given as mean ± SD of three independent experiments performed in triplicates.

b

Differences in sensitivity calculated by dividing the IC50 values of the resistant subline by those of the parental line. ***p ≤ 0.001, **p ≤ 0.01, *p ≤ 0.05; n.s. (not significantly different), calculated by one-sample t-test.
