| IC50 | 1.66±0.09 µg/ml against MCF-7 | |
| Potency | The overall results of the present study provided evidence for the cytotoxicity of compounds xanthone V(1) and 2-acetylfuro-1,4-naphthoquinone, and bring supportive data for future investigations that will lead to their use in cancer therapy. | |
| Cell line/ mice model | CCRF-CEM, CEM/ADR5000, PF-382, HL-60, MiaPaCa-2, Capan-1, MCF-7, SW-680, 786-0, U87MG, A549, Colo-38, HeLa, Caski | |
| Additional information | The most sensitive cancer cell lines to xanthone V1 and 2-acetylfuro-1,4-naphthoquinone were Colo-38 (melanoma), HeLa and Caski (cervix cancer) with IC50 values being closer or lower those obtained with doxorubicin. In addition, MCF-7 (breast cancer) and PF-382 (leukemia) also showed high sensitivity to xanthone V1 and 2-acetylfuro-1,4-naphthoquinone respectively. | |
