EHop-016 is a specific Rac GTPase inhibitor with IC50 of 1.1 μM for Rac1 in MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435 cells, equally effective inhibition for Rac3.

Rac1:1.1 μM

Rac Activity Assays: Rac activity is determined from lysates of the MDA-MB-435 and MDA-MB-231 human metastatic cancer cell lines (from ATCC). Cancer cells in culture medium (DMEM, 10% FBS, pH 7.5) are treated with vehicle (0.1% DMSO) or varying concentrations of EHop-016 (0–10 μM) for 24 h. Rac1 activity is determined using the G-LISA Rac1 activation assay kit.

MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-435, or MCF-10A mammary epithelial cells (from ATCC) are incubated in vehicle (0.1% DMSO) or varying concentrations of EHop-016 (0–10 μM) for 24 h. Cell viability is measured using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide cell survival and proliferation kit according to the manufacturer's instructions.(Only for Reference)
