(E/Z)-BCI

(E/Z)-BCI (NSC 150117) is a dual-specificity phosphatase 6 (DUSP6) inhibitor with anti-inflammatory activities. (E/Z)-BCI attenuates LPS-induced inflammatory mediators and ROS production in macrophage cells via activating the Nrf2 signaling axis and inhibiting the NF-κB pathway.

How to use

In Vitro:

(E/Z)-BCI hydrochloride (2-10 μM; 72 hours) significantly decreases cell viability in a time and dose-dependent manner in gastric epithelial cell GES1, GC cell lines, and AGS cell lines. (E/Z)-BCI hydrochloride (0.5-4 μM; 24 hours) significantly inhibits DUSP6 expression in LPS-activated macrophages. (E/Z)-BCI hydrochloride (0.5-2 μM; 24 hours) treatment significantly inhibits the expression of IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 mRNA in LPS-activated macrophages. (E/Z)-BCI hydrochloride decreases ROS production and activates the Nrf2 pathway in LPS-activated macrophages. (E/Z)-BCI hydrochloride inhibits cell proliferation, migration and invasion in a receptor-independent manner and enhances Cisplatin (CDDP) cytotoxicity (enhances CDDP-induced cell death and apoptosis) at pharmacological concentrations in the gastric cancer (GC) cells.

In Vivo:

(E/Z)-BCI hydrochloride (35 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; every 7 days; for four weeks; female BALB/c nude mice) treatment enhances cisplatin efficacy in PDX models.
