Results are mean ± SD (n = 3-4 independent replicates). IC50 values (concentration at which 50% inhibition of cell proliferation took place in comparison to non-induced basal 72 h incubations) were calculated within 0.1-200 μg/mL range. NI is a lack of cytotoxicity within the tested 0.1-200 μg/mL concentration range. P-value calculated by unpaired t-test between test compound IC50 values and cisplatin's (μM) using Graph Pad Prism software version 8.0.1. * When P<0.05 and ** when P<0.01 or 0.001, *** when P< 0.001or 0.0001, **** when P<0.0001, NS: not significantly different from reference agent.
