The chelators and the iron complex of NT were incubated with cells for 20 hours. At the end of this incubation period, [3H]thymidine was added and the cells were reincubated for 2 hours. Incorporation of [3H]thymidine was determined as described in “Materials and methods.” Results are the mean ± SD (3 experiments).

IC50 indicates 50% inhibitory concentration; DFO, desferrioxamine; other abbreviations are explained in the legend of Figure 1.
