Table 1 In vitro cytotoxic activities (IC50, µM and S.D values) of compounds 5a-f, 9a-c and 10a-c against HCT116, HePG-2, MCF7 and nonmalignant cells WI-38 cell lines. Signifcant values are in bold. aIC50 value is the concentration required to produce 50% inhibition of cancer cell proliferation. Data are presented as the mean ± SD from the dose–response curves of three independent experiments.
