- Product Overview:
BVT 948 is a noncompetitive, cell-permeable inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTP; IC50s = 0.09-1.7 µM).{27664} It facilitates the oxidation of the catalytic cysteine residue by hydrogen peroxide.{27664} Similarly, it inhibits redox-sensitive cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms, including CYP2C19 and CYP2D6, with IC50 values less than 10 µM.{27664} BVT 948 also inhibits the protein methyltransferases SETD8, SETD2, G9a, SMYD2, CARM1, and PRMT3 with IC50 values from 0.7 to 3.2 µm.{26934} Presumably through its effects on PTPs, BVT 948 enhances insulin signaling in cells and insulin tolerance in ob/ob mice, suppresses the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and invasion in breast cancer cells, and increases NMDA-induced substance P release by spinal cord slices.{27664,27665,27666}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
