  1. Frequency of apoptotic cells after 4 and 24 h of test - free medium. SD: Standard Deviation. Compound 1 at concentrations of 14; 28 and 56 μM Compound 2 at concentrations of 0.5; 1.0 and 2.0 μM combined or not with doxorubicin IC 50 in MCF7 breast cancer cell line. We analyzed 100 cells, the data represent mean and standard deviation of the average of two independent replicates with two replicates. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences. The results were evaluated by NPAR1WAY/Wilkoxon. Significance * p <0.05
