Dose-dependent stabilization of extra MII in the presence of specified compounds. The curves were fit using Kaleidagraph 4.0 with the maximal amount of extra MII being the saturating amount of extra MII for an individual compound and not the maximal MII from the peptide VLEDLKSCGLF. The EC50 values for compounds 1, 2, and 3 were 16.3±12.3 mM, 3.0±0.28 mM, and 11.8±6.7 mM, respectively.
