Table 2. Differences in Viability of GLC-4 and ABCC1-Overexpressing GLC-4/adr Cells Treated with COTI-2, COTI-NH2, Fe-COTI-2, Cu-COTI-2, and Triapine for 72 h.
compound | GLC-4 (IC50, μM)a | GLC-4/adr (IC50, μM)a | relative resistanceb | ABCC1 substratec |
---|---|---|---|---|
COTI-2 | 0.03 ± 0.01 | 0.48 ± 0.15 | 17.3* | YES |
Triapine | 0.65 ± 0.09 | 0.57 ± 0.05 | 0.9n.s. | NO |
COTI-NH2 | 3.64 ± 0.39 | 3.65 ± 0.41 | 1.0n.s. | NO |
Fe-COTI-2 | 0.79 ± 0.07 | 0.80 ± 0.11 | 1.0n.s. | NO |
Cu-COTI-2 | 0.02 ± 0.01 | 0.06 ± 0.02 | 3.2* | YES |
IC50 values were calculated from concentration–response curves measured by the MTT assay. Values are given as mean ± SD of two or three independent experiments, in triplicates.
Relative resistance was calculated by dividing the IC50 values of the resistant GLC-4/adr by those of the parental GLC-4 cells. *p ≤ 0.05; n.s., not significantly different; calculated by one-sample t-test.
Proposed substrate assignment based on data of GLC-4 and SW480 models.
