bpV(phen) is a novel and highly potent protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) and PTEN inhibitor with IC50s of 38 nM, 343 nM and 920 nM for PTEN, PTP-β and PTP-1B. bpV(phen) is an insulin-mimetic agent following insulin-receptor tyrosine kinase hyperphosphorylation and activation. bpV(phen) activates HIV-1 transcription and replication via NF-κB-dependent and independent mechanisms. bpV(phen) inhibits proliferation of the protozoan parasite Leishmania in vitro. bpV(phen) strongly induces the secretion of a large number of chemokines and pro-inflammatory cytokines, and it activates a Th1-type pathway (IL-12, IFNγ). bpV(phen) can also induce cell apoptosis, and has anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor activity.

Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | bpV(phen) (5 μM; 24.5 hours; H9c2 cells) treatment causes further reduction in cell viability of H/R-damaged H9c2 cells [1]. H/R-damaged H9c2 cells exhibit increased apoptosis upon treatment with bpV(phen) (5 μM; 24.5 hours) [1]. Treatment with bpV(phen) (5 μM; 24.5 hours; H9c2 cells) markedly increased the formation of cytoplasmic cytochrome C in H/R-damaged H9c2 cells [1]. Upon activation of bpV(phen), PTEN-induced putative kinase protein 1 (PINK1)/Parkin-mediated mitophagy is suppressed [1]. The insulin receptor tyrosine kinase hyperphosphorylates and activates the insulin mimic bpV(phen) [4]. |
| ln Vivo | The mean tumor volume significantly decreased in male BALB/c nude (nu/nu) athymic mice treated with bpV(phen) (5 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; for 38 days) [1]. |
