Biochem/physiol Actions
SF1670 is a selective PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog) inhibitor with an IC50 of 2 micromolar. PTEN inhibition by SF1670 was shown to increase neutrophil activity (polarization, phagocytosis, oxidative burst, and recruitment to site of infection), thereby enhancing the inflammatory response and bacteria-killing capacity of neutopenic mice.
SF1670 is a selective PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog) inhibitor.
PTEN prevents PI3-K(phosphoinositide 3-kinase)/Akt signaling pathway, which is very essential for neuronal regeneration. Therefore, inhibition of PTEN by SF1670 may support neuronal regeneration.
