| Bioactivity | SPHINX31 is a potent and selective SRPK1 inhibitor, with an IC50 of 5.9 nM. SPHINX31 inhibits phosphorylation of serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 1 (SRSF1). SPHINX31 also decreases the mRNA expression of pro-angiogenic VEGF-A165a isoform. SPHINX31 can be used to research neovascular eye disease[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||

| Invitro | SPHINX31 (0.3-10 μM; 24 h) significantly down-regulates the expression of VEGF-A165a mRNA[2].SPHINX31 (0.3 μM; 24 h) suppresses SRSF1 phosphorylation and nuclear localization[2].SPHINX31 (0.3-10 μM; 24 h) decreases pre-tube formation and the rate of migration for human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)[2].
