The inverse correlation between the CC50 values and S2242-MP, S2242-DP, and S2242-TP levels was .94, .95, and .98, respectively (for this calculation, the CC50 value for FM3A/0 cells was considered to be 100 μg/ml).

    • 2-a Cells were incubated with 100 μm[14C]S2242 (44 Ci/mmol) for 24 hr at 37°.
