Fig. 3: Photo-induced cytotoxic effect of nitrophenyl analogs.
From: 1,3a,6a-Triazapentalene derivatives as photo-induced cytotoxic small fluorescent dyes
a HeLa cells were cultured with several concentrations of TAP derivatives, and the cytotoxic effect without photoirradiation was determined by WST8 assay. b HeLa cells were cultured with several concentrations of TAP derivatives, and the photo-induced cytotoxic effect with UV irradiation was determined by WST8 assay. N = 3 biologically independent samples. The error bars represent the standard deviation of the mean. c Structures of nitrophenyl analogs 1d, 1q-s and their IC50 values. 4-Nitrophenyl analog 1d showed much stronger photo-induced cytotoxicity than the other nitrophenyl analogs.
