MIC experiments were carried out according to the CLSI guidelines (CLSI 2023 (link)). Overnight cultures were diluted to an OD600 = 0.001 in CAMHB followed by addition of efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs) at a final concentration of 100 µM. Afterwards, 50 µL of bacterial suspension were transferred to 384-well flat-bottomed microtitre plates (Greiner) where a dose-response of the antibiotics of interest were added by serial dilutions (range of 0–128 mg/L) using a Tecan D300e Digital Dispenser (Tecan, France). Plates were incubated at 37 °C for up to 20 h. Bacterial viability was evaluated using the resazurin microtitre assay (REMA) and measured by fluorescence using a Tecan Spaert multimode plate reader (Ex: 530 nm Em: 590 nm). MICs were defined as the concentration that prevented 90% of resazurin turnover compared to the non-treated bacteria.
To evaluate the efficacy of BDM88855.HCl (1’), BDM91288 (5) and PAβN; their concentration-dependent boosting of levofloxacin activity was determined using a checkerboard assay. 384-well flat-bottomed microtitre plates containing a dose-response of each EPI (concentration range = 0–300 µM) and levofloxacin (concentration range = 0–1 mg/L) were prepared with a Tecan D300e Digital Dispenser (Tecan, France). Bacterial suspensions, incubation and plate readouts were carried out as described above.

To measure anchorage-dependent growth, cells were plated at low density in 96 well plates and allowed to attach overnight. Inhibitors were then added with a D300e Digital Dispenser (Tecan). After 72 hours, cells were labeled with calcein AM (Thermo Fisher) according to the manufacturer’s protocol, and counted on a SpectraMax MiniMax 300 Imaging Cytometer (Molecular Devices).
To measure anchorage-independent growth, soft agar colony formation assays were performed. In a 96-well plate, wells were coated with 50 μl 2% SeaPrep Agarose (Lonza) mixed with cell culture medium. Next, 100 μl of 5000 cells mixed with 1% SeaPrep Agarose were added to each well and allowed to solidify. Fifty μl of medium were added to each well, and drugs were dispensed with a D300e Digital Dispenser (Tecan). After 72 hours, the alamarBlue cell viability reagent (Thermo Fisher) was added and incubated for 3 hours. Fluorescence was quantified on a SpectraMax MiniMax 300 Imaging Cytometer (Molecular Devices).

Cell-free in-vitro translation inhibition assays were performed using luciferase mRNA and bacterial S30 extracts containing either wild-type bacterial or human hybrid ribosomes.55 (link) In brief, firefly luciferase mRNA was transcribed in vitro using T7 RNA polymerase (Thermo) using a plasmid as template in which the mammalian promoter in pGL4.14 (Promega) has been replaced by theT7 bacteriophage promoter. Test articles in aqueous solution containing 0.3% Tween20 were dispensed into white 96-well plates (Eppendorf) using the TECAN D300e digital dispenser. The test article dispension volume was balanced to a total of 1.5 μL by 0.3% Tween20 in water. The reaction volume was brought to 15 μL by addition of 13.5 μL Translation Master Mix comprised of bacterial S30 extract, 0.2 mM amino acid mix, 6 μg tRNA (Sigma), 0.4 μg hFluc mRNA, 0.3 μL protease inhibitor (cOmplete, EDTA-free, Roche), 12 U RNAse inhibitor (Ribolock, Thermo Scientific), and 6 μL S30 premix without amino acids (Promega). Dispension and mixing of reagents was performed on ice prior to incubating the sealed plates at 37 °C. After 30 minutes of incubation, the reaction was stopped on ice and 75 μL of luciferase assay reagent (Promega) was added to each well.

19 PDAC cell lines were tested for sensitivity to RMC-7977 as part of a panel of human cancer cell lines of various histotypes screened at Crown Bioscience. These PDAC cell lines harbored KRASG12D, KRASG12V, KRASG12C, KRASQ61H, and BRAFV487_P492delinsA mutations. To measure inhibition of cell proliferation, cells were cultured in methylcellulose and treated in triplicates with serial dilutions of RMC-7977 (top concentration of 1 µM) or DMSO dispensed by a Tecan D300e digital dispenser (Tecan Trading AG). Cells were incubated for 120 hours prior to measurement of ATP levels using CellTiter-Glo. Technical triplicates were run for each biological replicate and a total of three biological replicates was done for each cell line. CTG assay readouts were plotted as a function of log molar [inhibitor] and a 4-parameter sigmoidal concentration response model was fitted to the data. Mean ± s.d. was plotted for each tested dilution.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
