After 2 d incubation, 20 μl of 5 mg/ml MTT (thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide) in PBS was added per well and it was further incubated for 2 h at 37°C. The medium was then discarded and cells were washed with 100 μl PBS before adding 100 μl 2-propanol/10 N HCl (250:1) in order to dissolve formazan granules. The absorbance at 570 nm was measured using a microplate reader (EL808, Bio-Tek Instruments Inc.), and cell viability was expressed as percentage relative to the respective control. As a result, all tested derivatives are not cytotoxic up to a concentration of 10 µg/ml. Microbial susceptibility was assessed by determination of the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). Therefore, microorganisms were incubated in EBS or Myc medium over night at 30 °C on a shaker. Microorganisms were seeded into 96-well plated, treated with different dilutions of the compound and incubated over night at 30°C on a shaker. The viability of microbial cells was analyzed by measurement of the absorbance at 600 nm on a plate reader. 13 14
