Bioactivity | BCI ((E)-BCI) hydrochloride is a DUSP6 (dual specificity phosphatase 6) inhibitor. BCI hydrochloride shows anti-inflammatory activity and decreases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. BCI hydrochloride can be used in inflammatory disease research[1][2]. |
Target | DUSP6 |
Invitro | BCI (100 ng/mL; 24 h) downregulats the expression of DUSP6 in RAW264.7 macrophage cells[2].BCI (0-1 nM; 24 h) inhibits the expression of IL-1β and IL-6 in lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) activated macrophages[2].BCI (0-4 nM; 24 h) decreases ROS production and activates the Nrf2 Pathway in LPS-activated macrophages[2].
