  1. The impact of bosentan on cell viability was evaluated by trypan blue exclusion test. The percentage of cell viability was calculated according to the following formula: % cell viability = (viable cell count/total cell count) × 100. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD of results in three independent experiments.
