The target compounds were evaluated for antiproliferative activity by an 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium assay on hu
man breast cancer (MCF-7) and mouse fibroblast non
malignant (L929) cell lines. The activation was structural, concentration, and time dependent. Doses inducing 50% cell-growth inhibition (IC
