Note(s): Microcolin A (Mic-1), a marine-derived compound, has been shown to be a novel antiproliferative and immunosuppressive agent. We investigated the ability of Mic-1 and its chemosynthetic analog, microcolin A3 (Mic-3), to induce apoptosis in murine thymocytes. Following incubation of the cells with Mic-1 (10–100 nM) or Mic-3 (10–100 nM), internucleosomal DNA fragmentation in apoptotic cells was detected by agarose gel electrophoresis and the diphenylamine (DPA) assay; the presence of hypodiploid nuclei assessed by propidium iodide (PI) staining; and the percentages of apoptotic and necrotic cells quantified by morphological observation and fluorescein labeled annexin-V binding.
