Screening of Pesticides with the Potential of Inducing DSB and Successive Recombinational Repair

Table 3

Cytotoxic effect of pesticides and metabolites that induced double-strand breaks.

	Compound	Survival range (%)	R^2	F	p value
Pesticide	Glyphosate	100 to 70	0.252	9.431	0.0047
	Permethrin	100 to 100	0.006386	0.06427	0.8050
	Pentachlorophenol	100 to 78	0.007	0.092	0.7669
Metabolite	Endosulfan lactone	100 to 60	0.6787	25.35	0.0003
	Paraoxon	98 to 90	0.1473	2.246	0.1579
Positive control	Etoposide	100 to 96			0.9934

Linear regression; the positive control was not cytotoxic at the concentration tested, 50 µM.
