Shishijimicin A (compound 1) (0.47-2.0 pg/mL) shows high cytotoxicity for 3Y1, Hela and P388 cells[1]. Shishijimicin A (0.13-1000 nM) shows high cytotoxicity for MES SA, MES SA DX and HEK 293T cells[2]. Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[1] Cell Line: 3Y1, Hela and P388 cells Concentration: 0.47-2.0 pg/mL Incubation Time: Result: Showed IC50 values of 2.0, 1.8, and 0.47 pg/mL for 3Y1, Hela and P388 cells, respectively. Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[2] Cell Line: MES SA, MES SA DX and HEK 293T cells Concentration: 0.13-1000 nM Incubation Time: Result: Showed IC50 values of 0.13, >1000, and 0.016 nM for MES SA, MES SA DX and HEK 293T cells, respectively.
