Nucant pseudopeptides inhibit proliferation of human colon carcinoma cells.

Cells	Nucant	Number of cells	% inhibition
SW480	None: Control	1,500,000	-
	N7: 10 μM	1,200,000	20%
	N7: 20 μM	900,000	40%
	N6L: 10 μM	800,000	47%
SW620	None: Control	1,800,000	-
	N7: 10 μM	1,000,000	44%
	N7: 20 μM	700,000	61%
	N6L: 10 μM	450,000	75%

Cells seeded in 6-well plates at 20,000 cells/ml in 2 ml culture medium were cultured in the absence (Control) or presence of N7 and N6L. Seven days after seeding, cells were trypsinized and counted. Nucant pseudopeptides were added only once 5 hours after seeding of cells. Consistently, N6L manifests at least 2-fold higher inhibitory activity compared to N7.
