Blasts were isolated from peripheral blood samples from patients with the indicated diagnoses; % blasts and % c-kit positivity are indicated. For phosphorylation assays, SU5416 was used at 5 μM, except where indicated, and SU6668 was tested at 0.5 and 5 μM. Apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometric analysis of activated caspase-3 except where indicated. Apoptosis assays were done with 25 μM SU5416 or SU6668 except where indicated.

+ indicates that inhibition of phosphorylation or induction of apoptosis was observed.

NT indicates the sample was not tested, due to limiting cell number.

*

SU5416 was tested at 0.05, 0.5, and 5 μM.

SU5416 was tested at 0.5 and 5 μM.

Compounds were tested at 5 and 25 μM.

F1-153

Apoptosis was assessed using assays measuring caspase-3 activation and PARP cleavage.

F1-155

Apoptosis was assessed with PARP cleavage assay only.
