  1. Standard errors (SE) on a logarithmic scale are given in parentheses. Data for MTX, and partly for VCR, were determined in the corresponding graph due to their non-sigmoid curves. No SE were calculated for MTX and partly for VCR because of the linear response curves. The range of IC50 values is displayed for each cytostatic drug. The quotient of the highest and lowest IC50 value is displayed in the variation row. Maximum plasma concentrations (MPC) are based on in vivo measurements performed as described.
