“Our results also showed differences in the sensitivities between the tested cell lines to neolitsine, cassythine and actinodaphnine. In general these compounds do not display a selective activity on cancer cell lines, an exception seems to be actinodaphnine which is at least twice less toxic on non cancer 3T3 cells.”
