Data are presented as IC50 values and 95% confidence intervals obtained by nonlinear regression for all cell lines from two independent experiments. Exposure time: 72 h. HEp-2: larynx carcinoma; NCI-H292: lung mucoepidermoid carcinoma; HT-29: colon adenocarcinoma; and HL-60: promyelocytic leukemia cells. Doxorubicin was used as a positive control. EOMiR: essential oil of M. indica var. Rosa; EOMiE: essential oil of M. indica var. Espada.
