Figure SI70. Evaluation of G2 dendrimers cytotoxicity based on IC50 values.

Upper panel: To evaluate and rank cytotoxic effect of each kind of dendrimer based on comparison of IC50 values summarized in Tab. 2, data of IC50 of all dendrimer kinds were plotted in a common column graph for each cell line (B14, BRL, NRK) and assay method used (MTT, CV). Each dendrimer (column) is placed in the order of decreasing mean value of IC50 (from left to right, increasing toxicity). In order to determine a statistical significance of difference between the IC50 values of all dendrimers, one-way ANOVA followed with Tukey-Kramer multiply comparison test was used to quantify the p values between each dendrimer. Values p < 0.05 were supposed to be statistically significant (*), values p ≥ 0.05 non-significant (ns). Columns were grouped in the graph based on their

p values as compared to lowest IC50 mean value present and p values related to their nearest neighbor. Statistical difference between the grouped dendrimers is therefore p ≥ 0.05 (ns), whereas between groups is p < 0.05 (*). In such a manner, a relative order of dendrimer toxicity was constructed for each cell line and assay method used. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 3). Lower panel: In order to compare the difference between the toxicity of G2 dendrimers measured by MTT and CV methods, a set of graphs representing IC50 values of the same dendrimer assayed by both methods on different cell lines were constructed. In order to determine a statistical significance of difference between the IC50 values measured by MTT and CV method for one cell line, unpaired t-test was used to quantify the p values. Values p < 0.05 were supposed to be statistically significant (*), values p ≥ 0.05 non-significant (ns). Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 3).
