BIX 02189 inhibits TGF-β1-induced lung cancer cell metastasis by directly targeting TGF-β type I receptor.
BIX02189 MEK inhibitor, prevents cell proliferation and induces apoptosis. Can be applied towards treatments of cancers and proliferative cell diseases.
ChEBI: 3-[[3-[(dimethylamino)methyl]anilino]-phenylmethylidene]-N,N-dimethyl-2-oxo-1H-indole-6-carboxamide is an indolecarboxamide.
bix 02189 is a selective inhibitor of mek5 with ic50 value of 1.5 nm 1.bix 02189 belongs to the indolinone kinase inhibitor series. it selectively inhibited the catalytic activity of mek5 but not other closely related kinases such as mek1, mek2, erk2 and jnk2. bix 02189 also inhibited erk5 with ic50 value of 59 nm. in hela cells, treatment of bix 02189 inhibited the phosphorylation of erk5 but not erk1/2. besides that, bix 02189 prevented the transcription of the downstream substrate mef2c in hela and hek293 cells. moreover, in a three-dimensional lymphangiogenic sprouting assay, bix 02189 resulted in an inhibition of lymphangiogenic sprouting with a minimal effective concentration of 1 μm 1,2.
