ΣFIC index for the wells at growth–no growth interface.
The IC50 values of CPPB and paclitaxel against PD002 are 35.0 and 1.25 μM, respectively.
CA and CB are concentrations of A and B.
ΣFIC is the sum of fractional inhibitory concentration calculated by the equation ΣFIC = FICA + FICB = CA/IC50A + CB/IC50B. Cellular behavior of PD002 treated with paclitaxel or a combination with paclitaxel and CPPB was monitored over time by IncuCyte® live cell analysis (Supporting Information).
