Biological Activity for BVT 948

BVT 948 is a non-competitive, cell-permeable inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) (IC₅₀ = 0.09 - 1.7 μM); displays irreversible inhibition through catalysis of the hydrogen peroxide-dependent oxidation of PTP. Enhances insulin signaling in vitro and insulin tolerance in ob/ob mice in vivo. Also inhibits several cytochrome P450 isoforms (IC₅₀ <10 μM).
