Inhibition effects of R2 on cell viabilities. Effects of R2 on the viabilities of EBV positive human AGS gastric cancer cells and AGS by trypan blue assay (a) and MTT assay (b). Effects of R2 on the viabilities of EBV-transformed B-cell lines (LCL) (c). Cells were exposed to R2 (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40 μg/mL) for 24 h, 48 h or 72 h for trypan blue assay and 24 h for MTT assay. R2 suppressed cell viability and induced AGS-EBV and LCL cell death, while being less cytotoxic to AGS cells. The data showed the mean value of three independent tests and were expressed as means ± SD. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 were considered statistically significant
