Table 2 The influence of new UA derivatives and reference active compound (UA) on cell proliferation in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. Antiproliferative activity was measured after 24 h of incubation of cancer cells with the tested agents using a [3H]–thymidine incorporation assay. The mean values ± sd from three independent experiments (n = 6) performed in duplicate are presented.
