[0135] Effect Test Case

[0136] MTT assay for antitumor activity

[0137] Cell culture: Human cancer cell lines HeLa and MDA-MB-231 were purchased from the National Biomedical Laboratory in Beijing and cultured in DMEM (KGM12800-500) or MEM (KGM41500-500) medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin, in a Thermo Fisher Scientific, BB150 incubator at 37°C with 5% CO2. When the cell confluence reached 70%–80%, 0.25% trypsin was added for digestion, resuspending, and culturing. Cells in the logarithmic growth phase and in good growth condition were selected for further study.

[0138] Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) was used to determine cell viability. Hemocytometer counting was used for cell counting, and cell viability was greater than 95% in all experiments. MDA-MB-231 and HeLa cells were counted at 1 × 10⁻⁶ cells / mL. 4 Cells were seeded in 96-well plates. 100 μL of medium (containing 1% FBS) was added to each well to dissolve different concentrations of the drug (0–50 μM), and the cells were incubated for 24 h. After centrifugation (5 min, 2000 rpm), the supernatant was discarded, and 10 μL of MTT (5 mg / mL) solution was added to each well. The cells were incubated at 37°C for 4 h, centrifuged again, and the supernatant was discarded. 100 μL of DMSO was added to each well, and the cells were shaken for 10 min to fully dissolve the formazan crystals. The absorbance was measured at 570 nm using a microplate reader (BioTek, USA). Cytotoxicity was assessed compared to the control group (DMSO). The concentration at which the drug induced 50% cell growth inhibition (IC50) was determined using a curve fitting algorithm in GraphPad Prism9 (GraphPad software, La Jolla, CA, USA) via nonlinear regression. 50 Table 1 shows the effects of the compounds on the activity of different tumor cells, and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the drugs on each cell line was calculated. 50 (48h).
