Study of cell cycle distribution of HCT-116 cells, after 24 h of treatment with Et₃PAuCl and its encapsulated form

Cell cycle phase	Control	Et3PAuCl (100 nM)	Nano-Et3PAuCl (100 nM)
G0/G1	31.18 ± 5.02	31.24 ± 9.11	29.58 ± 7.61
S	30.59 ± 5.10	24.97 ± 1.61	21.81 ± 2.14
G2/M	38.23 ± 8.62	43.79 ± 10.70	48.60 ± 9.74

Data are reported as percentage of cells on each phase of the cell cycle and as means ± SEM of four independent experiments
