title: Growth-suppressive activities of serine protease inhibitors, FOY-305, ONO-3403 and FO-349 toward human carcinoma cells.
abstract: FOY-305 is a synthetic serine protease inhibitor and ONO-3403 and FO-349 are its derivatives. The effects of these compounds on the proliferation of several human carcinoma cell lines were investigated in vitro by MTT colorimetric assay. ONO-3403 showed the most potent growth-inhibitory activity among these protease inhibitors. The half maximum inhibition concentrations of ONO-3403 toward BxPC-3 pancreatic carcinoma, T24 bladder carcinoma and A431 epidermoid carcinoma cells were 20-30 mu g/ml whereas those toward pancreatic carcinomas, PANC-1 and Mia PaCa-2, were 60-80 mu g/ml. Since FOY-305 has been shown to be effective in chemotherapy for human oral cancer, ONO-3403 is expected to be a more effective anticancer drug.
