N-Phenyl ureidobenzensulfonates (PUB-SOs) are a novel family of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) inhibitors. Herein, we investigate the potential of PUB-SOs to induce acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell differentiation and apoptosis. To that end, we screened our chemolibrary to select the most potent PUB-SOs based on their antiproliferative activity and their ability to arrest the cell progression of AML cells in the S phase.

Few models are used to study mammary epithelial cells (MECs), and most of these do not express the estrogen receptor α (ERα). Primary MECs can be used to overcome this issue, but methods to purify these cells generally require flow cytometry and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), which require specialized instruments and expertise. Herein, we present in detail a FACS-free protocol for purification and primary culture of mouse MECs.
