Effect of L-2 and CIGB-552 on the cell viability in different tumor cell lines.

Tumor cell lineOriginL-2 IC50 (μM)*CIGB-552 IC50 (μM)*

H460Human nonsmall-cell lung cancer57 ± 623 ± 8
H-125Human nonsmall-cell lung cancer75 ± 9 42 ± 6
H-82Human small-cell lung cancer50 ± 615 ± 3

The peptides were added to 10,000 cells in a range of concentrations from 0 to 200 μM. After 48 hours of incubation, cell viability was determined by SRB (sulforhodamine B, sodium salt) assay. Finally, absorbance was measured at 492 nm, and the IC50 values were calculated from the growth curves.
*Mean ± SD of three determinations. Data were obtained from two different experiments.
