Experiment 1 Reporting the Activity Data of This PDC [1]
Indication Small cell lung cancer
Efficacy Data Half Maximal Inhibitory Concentration (IC50)
0.06 µmol/L
Administration Time 6 h
Description
PEN-221 receptor dependent activity in vitro varied from strong (NCI-H524) to modest (HCC-33) but was consistent (N = 3) and correlated with in vivo activity (described below). Octreotide alone did not have an effect on cellular growth. These cell lines also demonstrated sensitivity to the cytotoxic payload, DM1, with sub-micromolar IC50's after a 6-hour exposure and 70-hour additional incubation period (Supplementary Fig. S2B).
