Experimental procedures

Cells from each cell lines were plated into 96-wells as 10,000 cell/well. The day after, five concentrations of the novel small molecules (synthetic 1,2,4-triazole[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazine derivatives) dissolved in DMSO and only-DMSO, as negative control, were added in duplicate. The plates were incubated at 37oC in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2 for different time intervals.

Since the cell lines used are adherent, at the end of each incubation period wells were washed with 1xPBS gently and then fixed with 10% TCA (trichloroacetic acid) for 1 hour at 4oC. Termination of fixation was followed by staining each well by SRB (Sulforhodamine B) for 10 minutes. Washing with 1% acetic acid several times removed the excess dye and the protein-bound SRB was dissolved in 10mM Tris base solution for OD determination at 515 nm via microplate reader.

For the Kinase Assay cells were plated with 60% confluency to 6-wells and on the next day were treated with the calculated IC50 and IC100 concentrations of our putative kinase inhibitors. After exact 24 hour incubation at 37oC in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2, cells were scraped and lysed respectively.

According to the protein concentration of cell lysates determined by Bradford Assay, the Kinase Reaction Buffer and cell lysates were initiated a reaction to give a final volume of 40µL.
ATP-Detection Reagent supplied from Lonza was added and incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes before reading the luminescence of each sample.
