| Target |
Centrosomal clustering[1]
|
| In Vitro |
GF 15 leads to multipolar mitosis induction with an EC50 of 900 nM. GF 15 exhibits potent cytotoxicity in a concentration-dependent manner against a broad spectrum of tumor cell types including colon, cervix, glioblastoma, pancreas, leukemia, and myeloma-derived cell lines with IC50s of 1-5 μM[1].
|
| In Vivo |
Treatment of mouse xenograft models of human colon cancer and multiple myeloma with GF 15 results in tumor growth inhibition and significantly prolonged survival[1].
|
| Cell Assay |
Hela cells are treated with GF 15 (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25 μM) for 24 and/or 48 hours. Cell viability is examined using the MTT assay[1].
|
| Animal Admin |
Mice[1] Beige-nude Xid mice are inoculated s.c. in the right flank with 3×106 OPM2 or HT29 cells. When a tumor is measurable, mice are assigned to a GF 15 treatment group (20, 100 mg/kg) or the control group for 0-20 days. Tumor burden is measured every alternating day using an electronic caliper.
