GDC-0575 (ARRY-575, RG7741)

Cell experiment:

AML cell lines are seeded at 1×104 cells/well in 96-well plates in triplicate, and subjected to different treatment conditions. After 24 h of incubation with GDC-0575, cell proliferation is measured with the XTT Cell Proliferation Kit II[3].

Animal experiment:

Mice[1]Female nude BALB/c mice are injected with 2-3×106 melanoma cells in Matrigel by subcutaneous injection on the hind flank. Once tumors reach approximately 100 mm3, mice are treated with GDC-0575 (25 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg) or vehicle (0.5% w/v methylcellulose and 0.2%v/v Tween 80) by oral gavage for 3 cycles where one cycle is three consecutive days of treatment followed by four rest days. Tumor size is measured three times per week using calipers. Mice are sacrificed at up to 6 weeks after terminating the treatment or when tumor size measured >1 cm3[1].
