Cells were seeded into 96‐well plates (1500 cells/well), and at each time point, cells were incubated with Cell Counting Kit‐8 (CCK8; Dojindo, Kumamoto, Japan) for 1.5 h, then the absorbance was measured using
Microplate Manager v6.0 (Bio‐Rad). To evaluate the inhibitory effect of JPH203, 24 h after seeding, the cells were treated with the inhibitors at the indicated concentrations or the same amount of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; 0.5%; vehicle control). The half‐maximal inhibitory concentration (IC
50) definition and measurements were as previously reported.

To examine the effects of JPH203 in combination with a cyclin‐dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor (dinaciclib, flavopiridol, or milciclib), combination assays were performed using a fixed concentration of JPH203 and three concentrations of each CDK inhibitor based on previous literature.
