Abstract Objective Enzymatic fingerprinting of key enzymes of glucose metabolism is a valuable analysis tool in cell physiological phenotyping of plant samples. Yet, a similar approach for mammalian cell line samples is missing. In this study, we applied semi-high throughput enzyme activity assays that were originally designed for plant samples and tested their feasibility in extracts of six frequently used mammalian cell lines (Caco2, HaCaT, C2C12, HEK293, HepG2 and INS-1E). Results Enzyme activities for aldolase, hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglucoisomerase, phosphoglucomutase, phosphofructokinase could be detected in samples of one or more mammalian cell lines. We characterized effects of sample dilution, assay temperature and repeated freeze–thaw cycles causing potential biases. After careful selection of experimental parameters, the presented semi-high throughput methods could be established as useful tool for physiological phenotyping of cultured mammalian cells.

Background: Compounds containing the quinazoline-4(3H)-one framework constitute an important class of fused N-heterocycles that are found in more than 200 naturally occurring alkaloids. These compounds also show a diverse range of pharmacological activities including antitumor properties. This prompted us to explore a series of quinazolin-4-(3H)-one derivatives having no substituent at C-2 as potential cytotoxic agents. Objective: The objective of this study was to synthesize and evaluate 3-substituted quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives for their potential cytotoxic properties. Methods: A convenient method has been developed for the rapid synthesis of this class of compounds under a mild and non-hazardous reaction condition in good yields. The methodology involved a three-component reaction employing isatoic anhydride, amines and glyoxylic acid as reactants in the presence of lemon juice in PEG- 400 at room temperature (25-30ºC) under ultrasound irradiation. All the synthesized compounds were screened via an MTT assay for their potential cytotoxic properties in vitro using the cancerous cell lines e.g. A549, A2780, HepG2, K562, MCF-7 and HCT-116 and a non-cancerous HEK293 cell line. Results: Several compounds such as 3a, 3b, 3d, 3e and 3f showed promising growth inhibition against these cancer cell lines but no significant effects on HEK293 cell line. The IC50 values of these compounds were comparable to doxorubicin whereas 3f significantly induced apoptosis in MCF-7 cells that also was comparable to doxorubicin. Conclusion: An ultrasound-assisted MCR facilitated by lemon juice has been developed to synthesize 3- substituted quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives that could act as potential anticancer agents.

The HEK293 cell line has earned its place as a producer of biotherapeutics. In addition to its ease of growth in serum-free suspension culture and its amenability to transfection, this cell line’s most important attribute is its human origin, which makes it suitable to produce biologics intended for human use. At the present time, the growth and production properties of the HEK293 cell line are inferior to those of non-human cell lines, such as the Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and the murine myeloma NSO cell lines. However, the modification of genes involved in cellular processes, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, metabolism, glycosylation, secretion, and protein folding, in addition to bioprocess, media, and vector optimization, have greatly improved the performance of this cell line. This review provides a comprehensive summary of important achievements in HEK293 cell line engineering and on the global engineering approaches and functional genomic tools that have been employed to identify relevant genes for targeted engineering.

Cell-based phenotypic screening is a commonly used approach to discover biological pathways, novel drug targets, chemical probes, and high-quality hit-to-lead molecules. Many hits identified from high-throughput screening campaigns are ruled out through a series of follow-up potency, selectivity/specificity, and cytotoxicity assays. Prioritization of molecules with little or no cytotoxicity for downstream evaluation can influence the future direction of projects, so cytotoxicity profiling of screening libraries at an early stage is essential for increasing the likelihood of candidate success. In this study, we assessed the cell-based cytotoxicity of nearly 10,000 compounds in the National Institutes of Health, National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences annotated libraries and more than 100,000 compounds in a diversity library against four normal cell lines (HEK 293, NIH 3T3, CRL-7250, and HaCat) and one cancer cell line (KB 3-1, a HeLa subline). This large-scale library profiling was analyzed for overall screening outcomes, hit rates, pan-activity, and selectivity. For the annotated library, we also examined the primary targets and mechanistic pathways regularly associated with cell death. To our knowledge, this is the first study to use high-throughput screening to profile a large screening collection (>100,000 compounds) for cytotoxicity in both normal and cancer cell lines. The results generated here constitute a valuable resource for the scientific community and provide insight into the extent of cytotoxic compounds in screening libraries, allowing for the identification and avoidance of compounds with cytotoxicity during high-throughput screening campaigns.
