After cell counting a defined cell number was sowed into a 96-well culture plate with white bottom (from Costar #3610) (NCI H69: 2000 cells/well) in total volume 100 uL. The cells (except MOLM-13 cells, these cells were directly treated) were then incubated in an incubator at 37°C and 5 % carbon dioxide. After 48 h, the medium was replaced. The treatment started by adding the test compounds in 10 uL of culture medium to the cells in triplicates. Concentrations ranging from 10^-5 M to 10^-13 M were chosen. Two identical treated sets of samples were prepared. One set was treated with the test compound alone and was added followed by a 96 h incubation in an incubator at 37°C and 20 % carbon dioxide.

Two identical treated sets of samples were prepared. One set was treated with the test compound alone, whereas to the second set the test compound and 5nM hum.neutrophil elastase were added followed by a 96 h incubation in an incubator at 37°C and 20 % carbon dioxide.

After cell counting a defined cell number was sowed into a 96-well culture plate with white bottom (from Costar #3610) (NCI H292: 2500 cells/well) in total volume 100 uL.

Two identical treated sets of samples were prepared. One set was treated with the test compound alone, whereas to the second set the test compound and 5nM hum.neutrophil elastase were added followed by a 96 h incubation in an incubator at 37°C and 28 % carbon dioxide.
