The results were expressed as GI50 (μΜ) (drug concentration that induces a 50% inhibition of cell growth) TGI (μΜ) (drug concentration that induces a 100% cell growth inhibition) indicating the cytostatic effects, and IC50 (μΜ) (drug concentration that induces 50% cytocidal effects) indicating the cytotoxic effects of the tested compounds on UWB1.289, UWB1.289 + BRCA1, OVCAR-3 and SKOV-3 human ovarian cancer cells. The gene discussed is BRCA1; the disease is ovarian carcinoma.
