Biochemical, cellular, and in vivo activity of novel ATP-competitive and selective inhibitors of the mammalian target of rapamycin.

For cell cycle analysis, cells are seeded in 96-well culture plates at 10,000 cells per well for 24 hours, treated with various inhibitors for 24 hours or 48 hours. Following treatment, cells are harvested, washed with PBS and fixed overnight at -20 °C in 70% ethanol. Cells are washed, stained with propidium iodide and analyzed for cell cycle profile (acquired 5000 cells/well) on Guava PCA-96 instrument according to the Guava Cell Cycle Protocol(Only for Reference)
