Figure 1

Tanshinone IIA and cryptotanshinone exert cytotoxicity in K562 cells. (a) Chemical structures of tanshinone IIA (left) and cryptotanshinone (right). (b) Cells were treated with various concentrations of tanshinone IIA or cryptotanshinone (0, 10, 20, 40, or 80 μM) for 24 h. MTT assay was performed to evaluate the cytotoxicity.
