a Analysis of cell proliferation/viability by MTT assay of M14 cells treated with 61 essential oils (EOs, EO01-EO61, 50 μg/ml, 72 h). p-values were calculated between control (Ctrl) and EO-treated cells. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; #p < 0.001 after applying Student’s t test. Dotted columns represent the six EOs further investigated in this study. b MTT assay of M14 cells treated with the indicated EOs (10–50 μg/ml, 24–72 h). a, b Results are reported as “cell proliferation-viability of treated cells/cell proliferation-viability of control cells × 100” and represent the average±standard deviation of at least three independent experiments. c Quantification of 50% inhibition of cell proliferation/viability (IC50) of the indicated EOs calculated for M14 cells treated as reported in b. The median of IC50 is shown. ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001 after applying one-way ANOVA test.
