Notes: Cells were incubated for 72 hours in the presence of various concentrations of F. deltoidea extracts (10–1000 μg/mL) and glibenclamide (10–2000 μM). Values are expressed as means ± standard deviations ( ) of percentage of cell viability from three independent assays. * ; *** compared with control. Values between brackets indicate the percentage of cell viability reduction.
