Description
BCI ((E)-BCI, compound 1) is an allosteric dual specificity phosphatase (DUSP) inhibitor with EC50 of 13.3 μM and 8.0 μM in cells for DUSP6 and DUSP1, respectively.
Uses
BCI ((E)-BCI) is a DUSP6 (dual specificity phosphatase 6) inhibitor. BCI shows anti-inflammatory activity and decreases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. BCI can be used in inflammatory disease research[1][2].
Definition
ChEBI: (2E)-2-benzylidene-3-(cyclohexylamino)indan-1-one is a 2-benzylidene-3-(cyclohexylamino)indan-1-one in which the double bond has E configuration. An inhibitor of the dual specificity phosphatase 6 (Dusp6). It has a role as an EC 3.1.3.16 (phosphoprotein phosphatase) inhibitor and an apoptosis inducer.
