From: Antiviral activity of silymarin in comparison with baicalein against EV-A71
Cytotoxic effects of (a) silymarin, (b) baicalein (c) baicalin and (d) DMSO in RD cells. Flavonoids were diluted serially in DMEM containing 2% FBS and Rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cells were treated with the diluted flavonoids under investigation for 24 h. Cytotoxicity was determined by the MTS assay using microplate reader to measure absorbance at 490 nm. Data are presented as mean ± S.E.M. Error bars indicate the range of values obtained from three independent experiments *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 indicates a significant difference compared to the negative control analysed by t-test
