The IC50 values (µM) of the tested molecules determined in the epimastigotes of T. cruzi (CLB strain).
| Compound | IC50 (µM) ƚ |
|---|---|
| MM3 | 4.52 ± 1.43 |
| MM4 | 5.08 ± 0.62 |
| MM5 | 129.91 ± 34.66 |
| EH123 | 198.78 ± 49.93 |
| Obatoclax | 3.46 ± 0.96 |
| Synthetic prodigiosin | 0.46 ± 0.03 |
| Natural prodigiosin | 0.54 ± 0.25 |
| Benznidazole | 18.96 ± 7.07 |
MM3, MM4, MM5, and EH123 are all tambjamines. ƚ Results are expressed as the mean IC50 value for each compound (± standard deviation) using data obtained in triplicate runs from three independent experiments. The IC50 value is the concentration that causes 50% of growth inhibition. This value was calculated using the GraphPad Prism software.
