wherein A denotes P/(P+S) for a blank well, B denotes P/(P+S) for a solvent well, and C denotes P/(P+S) for a compound-added well.

The IC50 value of a tested compound was calculated by regression analysis of the percent inhibition values versus the (logarithmic) concentrations of the tested compound.

The IC50 values of several compounds of the present invention against Cdc7 were all less than 1 μM, as shown in Table 4 below.

[Inhibitory Effect on Phosphorylation Using Cells]

Cultured Cells

COLO205 cells derived from human colon adenocarcinoma (RCB2127, RIKEN BRC) were cultured in 10 cm dishes using RPMI-1640 medium (SIGMA, R8758) supplemented with 10% FCS (Equitech-bio) and 5% penicillin/streptomycin (GIBCO, 15140). After the cells were cultured to a confluence of 70 to 90%, the medium was removed, and the cells were treated with trypsin (2 mL, TrypLE Express, GIBCO, 12604-021) and then harvested using a new medium.

Addition of Drugs to Cultured Cells

COLO205 cells were seeded in 6-well plates (FALCON, 35046) to 2.5×105 cells (1 ml) per well and cultured overnight in a 5% CO2 incubator. A drug solution, which was prepared by adding 1.5 μl of a 0.1-mM stock solution in DMSO of a test compound to 500 μl of medium, was added to each well (to a final drug concentration of 0.1 μM), and then cultured for another 24 hours.

Determination of Inhibitory Effect on MCM2 Phosphorylation

Cells were cultured for 24 hours in the presence of a test compound, harvested using a similar way as described above, washed with PBS, and then pelletized and stored at −80° C. The frozen cells were thawed, subsequently suspended immediately in 2×SDS-PAGE electrophoresis buffer (1×105 cells per 10 μl), and heated at 95° C. for 10 minutes, leading to the dissolution and denaturation of the proteins. The resulting sample solutions were subjected to SDS-PAGE using a 5-20% gradient acrylamide gel (e-PAGEL (5-20%), ATTO, E-T520L). After the electrophoresis was completed, the gel was immersed in tris-glycine buffer supplemented with 20% methanol, and the proteins in the gel were transferred onto a PVDF membrane (MILLIPORE, Immobilon-P, IPVH00010) using a semi-dry transfer apparatus (TRNS-BLOT SD SEMI-DRY TRANSFER CELL, BIO RAD).

The transferred PVDF membrane was blocked with 5% skim milk (Difco Skim Milk, BD, 232100), and then subjected to reaction with an anti-MCM2 goat antibody (N-19, Santa Cruz, sc-9839) or anti-phosphorylated MCM2 rabbit antibody (S53) (Bethyl, A300-756A) as a primary antibody and additionally with an anti-α tubulin mouse antibody (Clone DM 1A, SIGMA, 9026) as an internal control. Each band was detected by chemiluminescence using an HRP-labeled anti-goat IgG donkey antibody (Santa Cruz, sc2020), anti-rabbit IgG sheep antibody (Roche, 12015218001), or anti-mouse IgG donkey antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch, 715-035-151) as a secondary antibody. The combinations of and the diluted concentrations of the primary and secondary antibodies were as indicated below.

TABLE 3
Primary antibody Secondary antibody

1 Anti-MCM2 goat antibody Anti-goat IgG donkey
(1/500) antibody (1/10000)
2 Anti-phosphorylated MCM2 Anti-rabbit IgG sheep
rabbit antibody (S53) antibody (1/5000)
(1/500)
3 Anti-α-tubulin mouse Anti-mouse IgG donkey
antibody (1/1000) antibody (1/100000)

The bands which were detected were normalized using the amount of endogenous α-tubulin as a reference, and the percent phosphorylation of MCM2 was calculated for each of the tested compounds. Their inhibitory effects on MCM2 phosphorylation were indicated by a triple asterisk (***) in the case where the percent phosphorylation of MCM2 was less than 20%, by a dual asterisk (**) in the case where the percent phosphorylation of MCM2 was not less than 20% and less than 50%, and by a single asterisk (*) in the case where the percent phosphorylation of MCM2 was not less than 50% and less than 70%.

It was found from this testing that as shown in Table-4, the tested compounds of the present invention inhibited the phosphorylation of MCM2 at a concentration of 0.1 μM.
