Description

BCI-215 is a potent and tumor cell-selective dual specificity MAPK phosphatase (DUSP-MKP) inhibitor. BCI-215 has cytotoxicity for tumor cells but not normal cells[1][2].

IC50 & Target

DUSP-MKP[1]

In Vitro

BCI-215 concentration-dependently increases pERK levels in DUSP-overexpressing cells with IC50 value in the micromolar range[1].
BCI-215 (1-20 μM; 6 hours) retains fibroblast growth factor hyperactivating and cellular DUSP6/MKP-3 and DUSP1/MKP-1 inhibitory activity but is nontoxic to zebrafish embryos and an endothelial cell line[1].
BCI-215 inhibits survival and motility of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells but does not affect viability of cultured hepatocytes[2].
BCI-215 is completely devoid of hepatocyte toxicity up to 100 µM[2].
BCI-215 does not generate ROS in hepatocytes or in developing Zebrafish larvae. BCI-215 (22 µM) has antimigratory and proapoptotic activities in breast cancer cells that correlate with induction of ERK phosphorylation[2].
BCI-215 (20 µM; 1 hour) induces mitogenic and stress signaling in cancer cells without generating ROS[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 0.83 mg/mL (2.09 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.83 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (8.3 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 0.83 mg/mL (2.09 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.83 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (8.3 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
