  1. Cytotoxicity was tested by the determination of the cell ATP level by a bioluminescent method after 24 h of incubation. CC50 is the concentration required to reduce the live cell number by 50 % compared to the untreated controls. The CC50 values are reported as the means from two independent experiments performed in duplicate
