0.51 μM
Cancer cells (5 × 103) are seeded into each well of 96-well plates and cultured with graded concentrations of MS-275 for 3 days. The cells are stained with 0.1 mg/mL neutral red for 1 hour in a CO2-incubator, and, after aspiration of the medium, OD540 of the neutral red solubilized with 50 μL of ethanol and 150 μL of 0.1 M Na2HPO4 is measured. The IC50 value is determined by plotting growth inhibition of the cells against the logarithm of the drug concentration.
