Fig. 2. Synergistic effects between cupiennin 1a and CSTX-1, CSTX-9 or CSTX-13 as
measured in a Drosophila bioassay. (Left) The mortality caused by
CSTX-1 alone (filled bar; 5.99 µmol l-1) was compared with the
mortality due to co-injection with cupiennin 1a (open bar; 0.96 µmol
l-1;
P<0.001). (Middle) The
mortality caused by CSTX-9 alone (filled bar; 143.14 µmol l-1)
was compared with the mortality due to co-injection with cupiennin 1a (open
bar; 0.96 µmol l-1;
P<0.001).
(Right) the mortality of CSTX-13 alone (filled bar; 239.4 µmol
l-1) was compared with the mortality due to co-injection with
cupiennin 1a (open bar; 0.96 µmol l-1;
P<0.001) (data from
Wullschleger et al., 2004).
Cupiennin 1a showed no toxic effect when administered alone as control (not
shown). All data with mean ±S.E.M.
(N=24 groups); Fisher LSD test.
