UM-164

MDA-MB 231 and SUM 149 cells are plated in triplicate on 60 mm dishes at a density of 1×10⁶ cells/flask. After 24 h, a final concentration of 1 µM UM-164 is added to the cells and incubated for 24 h. Growth medium is then removed and cells are washed with PBS. The remaining cells are trypsinized, harvested, and placed together with growth medium and PBS. Cells are pelleted and re-suspended in 3 mL of 75% ethanol, followed by overnight storage at -20°C. After incubation, cells are centrifuged at 1,500 rpm for 5 min and the cell pellets are re-suspended in 0.05 mg/mL propidium iodide (10 μg/mL) containing 300 μg/mL RNase. Cell clumps are filtered. Cell DNA content is measured on flow cytometer and cell cycle distribution is calculated from 10,000 cells using FACS analysis^[1].

Mice^[1]
NCr/nude mice, 6 weeks of age, are anesthetized by injecting ketamine:xylazine combination at a concentration of 100 mg/kg:10 mg/kg. A total of 10,000 MDA-MB 231 cells are mixed with Matrigel in a 1:1 ratio by volume and injected into both left and right fourth mammary gland fat pads. Mice are randomized into treatment groups once the tumors are palpable. UM-164 is dissolved in a mixture of DMSO/propylene glycol (1:9). The volume of administration is 0.05 mL/mouse. The control group receive 10 % DMSO/propylene glycol, and the treatment groups receive 10 mg/kg, 15 mg/kg, or 20 mg/kg of UM-164. Mice are treated every other day by intraperitoneal injection, for up to 48 consecutive days. The tumors are monitored twice weekly, and body weight is measured once weekly. Tumor volume is calculated^[1].
