  1. All data were done in triplicates (n = 3) and presented as Mean ± SD. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) plus Dunnett’s post hoc test was used for statistical comparisons. Statistical significance was set at *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001 for tested molecules against the vehicle samples.
