Data are expressed as the average inhibitory concentration (IC50) of four repetitions with standard error of the mean (SEM). The statistical differences between compounds were calculated by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan’s post hoc test (p ˂ 0.05) within one cell line, where different letters (a, b) denoted the significances; the different cell lines were evaluated independently on each other.
