and Evaluation of the Cytotoxic Potential of Hinokitiol against Osteosarcoma by Targeting Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3β.

Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of hinokitiol in osteosarcoma cells and targeting of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3).

Materials And Methods: The (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxic potential of hinokitiol in osteosarcoma cells. Various concentrations of hinokitiol (5, 10, 20, 40, 60, and 80 μg/mL) were tested, and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC) was calculated.
