MK-0646 and MK-8669 synergistically inhibit clonogenesis. a MCF-7/AC-1 (Top) and MCF-7/AC-1/IGF-2 (Bottom) cells were exposed to increasing concentrations of MK-8669 (closed squares), MK-0646 (closed triangles) or the combination MK-8669 + MK-0646 (closed diamonds) and assessed for colony outgrowth (normalized to control). Synergy is indicated by combination index (CI) values, where < 1 is synergistic. Error bars represent SEM and results representative of three independent experiments. b Surface response modeling was employed to demonstrate the multiplicative benefit of adding MK-8669 to existing MK-0646 or vice versa. MCF-7/AC-1 cells were treated with MK-0646 (x-axis), MK-8669 (y-axis) or the combination (z-axis) at varying doses. Percent inhibition is depicted as the fraction affected (Fa)
