    Figure 2.

    The fraction of early apoptotic, late apoptotic and necrotic cells after 4, 48 and 72 h exposure to doxorubicin (DOX) and compounds 1-5 obtained after double staining with Hoechst 33258 and propidium iodide. Statistically significant difference in comparison to *control cells, #to the probes with doxorubicin at p<0.05. The values are the mean±SD of five independent experiments.
