MAPKK2 (1-16) (human, mouse, rat)

SI-2 is an inhibitor (SMI) of steroid receptor coactivator-3 (SRC-3 or AIB1). SI-2 can selectively reduce the transcriptional activities and the protein concentrations of SRC-3 in cells, and selectively induce breast cancer cell death with IC50 values in the low nanomolar range (3-20 nM), but not affect normal cell viability.

Steppogenin exhibits significant tyrosinase inhibition activity, ;it also shows strong mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory activity with IC(50) values lower than 50 microM, more potent than kojic acid (IC(50) = 71.6 microM), a well-known tyrosinase inhibitor.
