Bioactivity | Benproperine phosphate is an orally active, potent actin-related protein 2/3 complex subunit 2 (ARPC2) inhibitor. Benproperine phosphate attenuates the actin polymerization rate of action polymerization nucleation by impairing Arp2/3 function. Benproperine phosphate has the potential for a cough suppressant and suppresses cancer cell migration and tumor metastasis[1]. |
Invitro | Benproperine phosphate (20-120 μM; for 24 hours) inhibits cell viability in a dose-dependent manner[1]. Benproperine phosphate (10 μM; for 24 hours) significantly inhibits the migration of various types of cancer cells and inhibits the migration and invasion of DLD-1, AsPC-1 cells with IC50 values of 1-2 μM. Benproperine phosphate (10 μM; for 24 hours) does not affect cortactin-rich lamellipodium in MCF-10A cells[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: |
In Vivo | Benproperine phosphate (50, 100 mg/kg; oral gavage; 5 days per week for 4 weeks) inhibits primary pancreatic tumor growth[1]. Benproperine phosphate shows a marked decrease in the lung metastasis of AsPC-1 cells (56.1% inhibition) in mouse. Benproperine phosphate significantly suppressed the liver metastasis of HCT-116 cells by 78.9% and DLD-1 cells by 78.2%[1]. Animal Model: |
