The editors and publishers regret that in the above Letter concentrations of the active compounds were erroneously given in millimolars
(mM) rather than in micromolars (lM) and in mg/ml rather than in lg/ml. The penultimate sentence of the Abstract and the passage ‘The
anti-proliferative activity of salarin C was dose-dependent. . . (e.g., geldanamycin)19’ on p 4357 are corrected as follows:
‘Salarin C was found to inhibit cell proliferation of human leukeamic cell lines UT-7 and K562 and the murine pro-B cell line Ba/F3 at
concentrations of 0.0005–0.5 lg/ml’.
‘The anti-proliferative activity of salarin C was dose-dependent; salarin C at concentrations of 0.0005–0.5 lg/ml was added to the cells
for 24 h, and cell viability was determined by MTT assay.18 Salarin C was by far more potent than salarins A and B, and tulearin A, ꢀ50%
inhibition of cell proliferation was obtained at 0.5
l
g/ml (1
l
M) of salarin C for the UT-7 cell line and at 0.05
l
g/ml (0.1
M of salarin C. The effec-
M) is comparable, and even lower than those of other chemotherapeutic agents (e.g.,
lM) for the K562
cell line. The sensitivity of the Ba/F3 cells was much higher as their proliferation was arrested completely at 0.1
tive concentration range of salarin C (IC50 0.1–1
geldanamycin).19
