Product Description

BCI-215 is a novel, potent and selective dual specificity MAPK phosphatase (DUSP-MKP) inhibitor which has cytotoxicity for tumor cells but not normal cells.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In DUSP-overexpressing cells, BCI-215 concentration-dependently raises pERK levels with IC50 values in the micromolar range [1]. BCI-215 (1–20 μM; 6 hours) is harmless to zebrafish embryos and endothelial cell lines, but it maintains fibroblast growth factor hyperactivation and cellular DUSP6/MKP-3 and DUSP1/MKP-1 inhibitory action [1]. BCI-215 does not impact the viability of cultured hepatocytes, however it does impair the survival and motility of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells [2]. When used at concentrations up to 100 µM, BCI-215 is totally non-hepatotoxic [2]. Neither growing zebrafish larvae nor hepatocytes produced ROS in response to BCI-215. In breast cancer cells, BCI-215 (22 µM) exhibits pro-apoptotic and anti-migratory properties that are linked to the activation of ERK phosphorylation [2]. BCI-215 (20 µM; 1 h) stimulates stress signaling and mitosis in cancer cells without producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) [2].

Additional Infomation
BCI-215 is an aromatic ketone that is 2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one which is substituted at positions 2, 3, and 5 by (E)-benzylidene, cyclohexylamino, and bromine, respectively. A hyperactivator of fibroblast growth factor signaling in transgenic zebrafish that is devoid of developmental toxicity and restores defective MAPK activity caused by overexpression of DUSP1 and DUSP6 in mammalian cells. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent and an apoptosis inducer. It is a secondary amino compound, an aromatic ketone, an organobromine compound, an enone and a member of indanones.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~33.33 mg/mL (~84.10 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 0.83 mg/mL (2.09 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 8.3 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL of Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL of normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 0.83 mg/mL (2.09 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 8.3 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Biological Data
  • BCI-215 is nontoxic to rat hepatocytes and developing zebrafish embryos. (A–C) Rat hepatocytes were treated in 96-well plates with 10-point concentration gradients of DUSP inhibitors and menadione as a positive control for hepatotoxicity. Sanguinarine, NSC95397, BCI, and menadione, but not BCI-215 produced dose-dependent cell death in rat hepatocytes as measured by (A) PI uptake and (B) loss of mitochondrial membrane integrity. (C) Hepatocyte toxicity correlated with production of ROS. (D and E) In contrast to other DUSP inhibitors, BCI-215 did not generate ROS in developing zebrafish embryos. Data and images are from a single experiment that has been repeated once. Scale bar, 500 µm.[2].

J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2017 Apr;361(1):39-50.
  • BCI and BCI-215 cause apoptotic cell death at concentrations that induce ERK phosphorylation. MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with vehicle (DMSO), BCI, or BCI-215 and stained with Hoechst 33342 and anti-phospho-ERK and anti-cleaved caspase-3 antibodies, respectively. (A) Fluorescence micrographs show pyknotic nuclei indicative of early apoptosis. Images are maximum projections of a 10-plane, 0.25 µm each, z-series acquired using a 60X objective on a Molecular Devices ImageXpress Ultra High Content Reader (Sunnyvale, CA). BCI and BCI-215 were at 22 µM. Scale bar, 30 µm. (B) Multiparametric analysis of chromatin condensation, caspase-3 cleavage, and ERK phosphorylation by HCA. Each box plot is the aggregate of four (caspase) or five (nuclear condensation and ERK phosphorylation) independent experiments. Boxes show upper and lower quartiles; whiskers, range; dot, mean. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ****P < 0.001 versus DMSO by one-way analysis of variance with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test. The last data point for cleaved caspase is n = 3 for 50 µM BCI-215 with two of the three values being identical. (C and D) Confirmation of apoptosis with secondary cell lysis by flow cytometry. Data in (D) are the average ± S.E.M. values of three independent flow cytometry experiments. Early apoptosis, Q3, annexin V positive and PI negative; late apoptosis, Q2, annexin V and PI positive; necrosis, Q1, PI positive and annexin V negative.[2].

  • BCI-215 activates mitogen-activated and SAPK cascades in the absence of oxidative stress. (A) Activation kinetics. MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells were treated with BCI or BCI-215 (20 µM) for the indicated time points and analyzed for phosphorylation of the DUSP1/MKP-1 and DUSP6/MKP-3 substrates, ERK, JNK/SAPK, and p38, as well as their upstream activators MEK1 and MKK4/SEK1 by Western blot. (B) Activation of kinase cascades in three different cell lines. Cells were treated for 1 hour with vehicle (DMSO), 20 µM BCI-215 (215), or 5 µM doxorubicin (DOX). Data in (A) and (B) are from a single experiment that was repeated once. (C and D) ROS generation. MDA-MB-231 cells were prelabeled with Hoechst 33342 and chloromethyl-fluorescein diacetate, acetyl ester (CM-H2-DCFDA) for 30 minutes followed by treatment with test agents for up to 5 hours. (C) At the indicated time points, cells were imaged and the percentage of ROS positive cells enumerated. (D) Concentration response at the 2-hour time point. Each data point is the mean of four wells ± S.E.M. from a single experiment that was repeated twice.[2].
