Tabulated IC50 values of CDDP, Aq CDDP, Aq CDDP-CMHA, and nCaPCMHACDDP examined with BT-474 and BT-474EMT cells, from curves shown in Figures 7(a) and 7(b), respectively. For BT-474 cells Aq CDDP and nCaPCMHACDDP were both significantly more effective than CDDP alone and Aq CDDP-CMHA was significantly less effective than CDDP. For BT-474EMT cells nCaPCMHACDDP was as cytotoxic as CDDP alone and Aq CDDP was significantly more effective while Aq CDDP-CMHA was significantly less effective.
