  1. Obs. the minimum drug concentration which causes 50% inhibition of cell growth (GI50) in last column is showed in italics
  2. Where GI50 value of ≤ 10−6 molar (i.e. 1 µmolar) or ≤ 10 µg/ml is considered to demonstrate activity in case of pure compounds. For extracts, GI50 value ≤ 20 µg/ml is found to demonstrate activity
  3. LC50: drug concentration which cause 50% cell kill; GI50: drug concentration which cause 50% inhibition of cell growth; TGI: drug concentration which cause total inhibition of cell growth; ADR: adriamycin, positive control compound
