Biological Activity
β-amyloid[1]
4-(6-Bromo-2-benzothiazolyl)benzenamine (compound 6l) plus ultraviolet A (UVA) can induce caspase-3 activity, poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase cleavage, M30 positive CytoDeath staining, and subsequent apoptotic cell death. Treatment of A375 cells with 4-(6-Bromo-2-benzothiazolyl)benzenamine plus UVA results in a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨmt), oxidative phosphorylation system (OXPHOS) subunits, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) but an increase in mitochondrial DNA 4977-bp deletion via reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations also show major ultrastructural alterations of mitochondria[2].

Protocol
For fluorescence Measurement of Uptake of 4-(6-Bromo-2-benzothiazolyl)benzenamine, cultured A375 cells are seeded on glass coverslips with a density of 2×104 cells/well in 24-well plate for 24 h until cell attachment. Then the cells are exposed to 4-(6-Bromo-2-benzothiazolyl)benzenamine at 5 μM for indicated times in the dark. The cells are washed twice with PBS and are then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde at 4°C for 30 min. The qualitative expression of cell fluorescence is determined using a Leica inverted microscope[2].

Mice[2]
A total of 5×106 B16 cells are inoculated into female ICR mice (about 19-21 g, 7 weeks). The subcutaneous inoculation of tumor cells resulted in tumor generation at the injection site. When tumors reached about 4×4 mm2 in diameter, mice are separated into groups. Each group had four mice in each experiment; 4 mg/kg of 4-(6-Bromo-2-benzothiazolyl)benzenamine is injected into the tumor site, and then tumor is exposed to different doses of UVA on the day after injection. Tumor volume is measured by calipers every 5 days after agent injection, and tumor volume is calculated[2]
