a

IC50 values were determined by MTT assay as described in “Materials and Methods,” and were obtained from three independent experiments in triplicate.

b

Resistance fold (RF) was calculated from dividing the IC50 values of resistant cells (KB-C2 and SW620/Ad300) by the IC50 of parental cells (KB-3-1 and SW620) in the presence or absence of VS-4718 or positive control inhibitor.
