Figure 1. Cytotoxicity of compounds A1A7 (a–g) against cultured HepG2 cells. HepG2 cells were treated with increasing concentrations of the compounds of interest (A1A7, a–g) or vehicle (DMSO, 0.1%) for 24 h. Cell viability was assessed using MTS assay. Mean absorbance value for DMSO-treated cells was set to 1. The data are expressed as mean ± SD from three independent experiments carried out in sextuplicates. Obtained IC50 values are listed in .
