PTEN

Shikonin, a component of chinese herbal medicine, inhibits chemokine receptor function and suppresses human immunodeficiency virus type 1.

SF1670 is a selective PTEN inhibitor (IC50=2 uM). As PTEN-mTOR pathway is critical for controlling the regenerative capacity of corticospinal neurons, PTEN deletion or its inhibitor enhances the regenerative ability of adult corticospinal neurons. Pretreatment with SF1670 augments the efficacy of granulocyte transfusion in a clinically relevant mouse model.

VO-Ohpic trihydrate is an inhibitor of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10).

BpV(HOpic) is a potent and selective inhibitor of PTEN with an IC50 of 14 nM. Nanocarrier-BpV(HOpic) has neuroprotective activity.

bpV(phen) is a potent inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) and PTEN, exhibiting IC50 values of 38 nM, 343 nM, and 920 nM for PTEN, PTP-β, and PTP-1B, respectively. This compound demonstrates significant anti-proliferative effects on the protozoan parasite Leishmania in vitro. Additionally, bpV(phen) enhances the secretion of various chemokines and pro-inflammatory cytokines while promoting a Th1-type immune response characterized by IL-12 and IFNγ production. It also induces apoptosis and exhibits anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor properties, making it valuable for research in cancer and inflammation biology.
