Table 1. IC50 for pemetrexed (MTA) in the parental and pemetrexed-resistant lung cancer cell lines.
Cell line | PC9 | PC9-MTA | H1993 | H1993-MTA |
---|---|---|---|---|
IC50 (μM)a (mean ± SD) | 1.30 ± 0.26 | > 100 | 0.05 ± 0.02 | 7.30 ± 0.03 |
Relative resistance ratiob | > 77 | 146 |
aIC50: half-maximal inhibitory concentration
bRelative resistance ratio = IC50 of pemetrexed-resistant cells/IC50 of parental cells
