  • cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 3000-5000 cells/well depending on cell size and their growth characteristics. The appropriate plating density was selected to ensure that the cells did not become confluent during the 72 hour assay period. Twenty- four hours after seeding, the plating media was removed and the cells were washed 2 times with glutamine-free growth media and then 100 uL of glutamine-free media or glutamine containing (2mM) growth media was added back to the wells. Cells were incubated for 72 hrs at 37°C with 5% C0 2 and analyzed for antiproliferative effects by Cell Titer Glo (Promega).
  • Sensitivity to compound 670 was determined by treating cells in 96-well plate seeded as described above. Twenty four hours after seeding, the cells were washed with growth media with 2mM glutamine and 50 uL of growth media with 2 mM glutamine was added to the well. A 10 mM DMSO stock of compound 670 was diluted into 100% DMSO at 200 uM. This was further diluted to 2 uM in growth media with 2mM glutamine. 50 ul of this mixture was added to cell plates making the final concentration of 670 uM to be 1 uM. Parallel control wells were treated with DMSO only. Cells were incubated for 72 hours at 37 °C with 5% C02 and analyzed for antiproliferative effects by Cell Titer Glo.
