EA(S): ethyl acetate sequential; AC(S): acetone sequential; EA(D): ethyl acetate direct; AC(D): acetone direct; S.C: solvent control: DMSO (< 1%), P.C: positive control (Gentamicin 10 µg); – : Low activity (less than 50%). The data is expressed as the mean ± standard error of two independent experiments performed in technical triplicates.
