    Recently, we found that two cyclodidepsipeptides, 3,6-di-(propan-2-yl)-4-methyl-morpholine-2,5-dione (1) and 3-(2-methylpropyl)-6-(propan-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholine-2,5-dione (2), are excellent inhibitors of xanthine oxidase. In order to obtain more information about the toxicological potential of compounds 1 and 2 on bone cells, the current study was designed to evaluate the effect of these compounds on viability and proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells. Compound 1 showed neither cytotoxic nor stimulatory effect on cell viability, while compound 2 showed a slight stimulatory effect on cell viability. Both studied compounds showed slight stimulatory effects on proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells, in a dose dependent manner. Additionally, an in silico toxicological study of compounds 1 and 2 was performed, and the results indicate that they have a good probability of safe biological intake.
