Human alveolar adenocarcinoma cell line.

b

The multicellular resistance (MCR) index is the ratio of the spheroid and the monolayer culture IC50 values.

c

Measurements indicate the Pt bound to DNA after 2 h of treatment of A549 cells with 20 μM of the compounds. The results are presented as mean ± SD of 2 independent experiments with 4 replicates each.
