Flosulide (1 nM-100 μM) causes a concentration-dependent and finally complete inhibition of PGE2 production in the OSC-2 cell line, but with no effect on PG formation in the OSC-1 cells. Flosulide completely suppresses mitotic activity of OSC-2 cells, whereas mitotic activity of OSC-1 cells remain unchanged[2].

Protocol
The proliferation of the esophageal tumor cell lines is determined using the cell proliferation kit II. Tumor cells are incubated with flosulide and NS-398 at different concentrations for 48 h in DMEM containing FCS (10%), penicillin (100 units/mL), and streptomycin (0.1 mg/mL). After this time, the XTT labeling mixture is added, followed by 4 h of incubation and measurement of absorbance at 490 nm.
