  • a The IC50 was evaluated after 72 h of drug exposure, by sulforodamine B assay. Data represent the mean values of three independent experiments. Standard errors were lower than the 7% of each value.

  • b NiK-12192 was used at subtoxic conditions: 0.5 μM in HT29 and HT29/Mit cells and 1 μM in LoVo and LoVo/DX cells.
