  1. Data presented as IC50 values and selectivity index in Jurkat cell line (n = 3)
  2. Means in the same column with different superscript letter(s) are significantly different, P < 0.05 (one-way ANOVA). Inactive means at the extract caused <50 % cytotoxicity even using the maximum concentration at 500 µg/mL
  3. nd not determined due to their low yield
