Inhibitory effects of XHP on the growth of U-87 MG cells. U-87 MG cells were treated with the indicated concentrations of XHP or PTX for 24h, (a) Morphological changes of cell confluence were observed under phase-contrast microscopy (× 200). (b) Cell viability was determined by CCK-8 assay. IC50 of PTX on U-87 MG cells was 4.67 ± 0.07 µM after 24h treatment (n = 3, mean ± SD). P < 0.05, P < 0.01 significantly different from the control. P values were determined by Student’s t-test.
