Table 3. Cytotoxic Effects of NBD-6AHA-Triterpene Conjugates 1 and 2 on Nontumor Cells.
| compound | HPFa | SIb | IEC-18a | SIb | WRL68a | SIb |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 39.7 ± 1.2 | 17 | 41.0 ± 0.3 | 2 | 37.9 ± 0.2 | 3 |
| 2 | 14.8 ± 1.5 | 3 | 14.7 ± 0.7 | 2 | 10.0 ± 0.3 | 1 |
The IC50 values (μM) were calculated by considering untreated control cells as 100% viability. Cell viability was analyzed using the MTT assay, as described in the Experimental Section.
SI = selectivity index (IC50 nontumor cells/IC50 cancer cells).
