Dose-response studies were conducted to determine IC50 values for those compounds that showed more than 80% inhibition at 1 μM concentration, IC50 values were calculated by four-parameter dose-response curve-fitting in GraphPad Prism. The results are from three replicates. Percent inhibition errors are estimated to be <10%; IC50 data are presented as mean ± SD.
