Figure 1

Cytotoxicity of A549 cells exposed to SRM2975 (solid bars), SRM1650 (hatched bars) and ASPM (open bars). The 100% maximum LDH release is obtained by treatment of cell cultures with Triton X-100, whereas the baseline LDH release in untreated cell cultures is 0%. Bars denote the mean ± SEM; (n = 3). * Statistically significant compared to control p < 0.05 (Kruskal-Wallis test). # Higher level of LDH release of SRM1650 compared to SRM2975 (p < 0.01, Mann-Whitney U test). ¤ Higher level of LDH release of SRM1650 compared to SRM2975 and ASPM (p < 0.05, Kruskal-Wallis test).
