  1. Data represent mean ± SE, n = 3
  2. 1Glufosfamide was used in its IC50 value beside two of its fractions; 10 and 25 µM
  3. The number of HepG2 cells used was in the range of 5 × 105 ~ 5 × 106 cells/mL
  4. Percent apoptosis was calculated as the sum of frequencies of cells in late apoptosis and those undergoing apoptosis
  5. *Significantly different from the same concentration incubated with HepG2 cells for 48 h at P < 0.05, using independent two-tailed Student’s t test
  6. a,bData in the same rows having the same superscript are significantly different from each other at P < 0.05 using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey as post hoc test
