Cytotoxic activity of five depsides (1-5) expressed as hemolytic percentages at the highest tested concentration (100 µg/ml) and growth inhibition of HeLa cells.

Compounds	Hemolytic activity (%)	Growth inhibition of HeLa cells (% inhibition)
	at 100 µg/ml	at 6.125 µg/ml	at 12.5 µg/ml	at 100 µg/ml
1	0	22.2 ± 2.8	nd	88.0 ± 2.1
2	0.4 ± 0.01	nd	14.8 ± 1.6	44.5 ± 6.5
3	4.0 ± 0.02	nd	11.0 ± 0.9	45.3 ± 3.5
4	0	nd	nd	84.5 ± 6.8

nd, not determined.

The results are expressed as mean of inhibition percentages ± standard deviations (SD) depending on the tested concentrations of the compounds (100, 12.5, or 6.25 µg/ml). All experiments were performed in duplicate with at least two replicate experiments.
