Effect of eugenol derivatives on the growth of human melanoma cell lines. Nine melanoma cell lines were cultured (A) in presence of 100 μM or (B) with various concentrations of each compound (S1–S7), for 6 days and cell proliferation was estimated as described in Material and Methods. Results are expressed as percent of cell growth and represent the average (± standard deviation) of triplicate cultures performed twice. 5 μM Cisplatinum was used as cytotoxic agent positive control.
