A control without the compound was also included. After 72 h of cell culture, 100 μL of supernatant was discarded, and 20 μL of MTT (5 mg / mL) was added. The cells were incubated at 37 ℃ for 4 h. After centrifugation, 100 μL of supernatant was discarded, and 100 μL of DMSO was added. The cells were incubated at room temperature in the dark, and shaken for 15 minutes until the blue formazene dissolved. Cell viability was measured using a microplate reader with OD595 and OD630 as reference wavelengths.
