BGP-15 (BGP-15 2HCl) is a PARP inhibitor with protecting effect after ischemia-reperfusion injury.

PARP:120 μM

Human tumor cell lines A549, HCT-15, HCT-116, and Du-145 were maintained in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FCS in humidified air containing 5% CO2. For in vitro cytotoxicity assays, 5×103 to 5×104 cells were plated into the wells of 96-well plates in 100 μL culture medium. On the following day, cells were exposed to BGP-15 (10, 30, 100 μg/mL) and to a series of concentrations of cisplatin either by itself or in combination. Cultures were incubated in a total volume of 200 μL for 3 more days at 37°. Samples were prepared in duplicates or triplicates. Cell growth was evaluated by MTT or SRB assays. Growth inhibition curves were calculated. (Only for Reference)
