IC50 values for AE-CA in HEC-1AHEC-1A, HEC-1B, and KLE cells were calculated using the CalcuSyn software and based on the cytotoxicity data described in Figure 1.
IC50 values for cisplatin alone (Con), cisplatin with AE-CA (plus AE-CA), and cisplatin with CPT (plus CPT) were calculated using the CalcuSyn software and based on the cytotoxicity data described in Figure 5.
