Assessed by the sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay. TGI values represent the concentration necessary (g/mL) for total inhibition of cancer cell proliferation. Values were determined through nonlinear regression analysis using the ORIGIN 8.0 (OriginLab Corporation). Dose range tested: 0.25 to 250 µg/mL. Experiment was conducted in triplicate.
