Product Data
Biological target:
An EGFR inhibitor.
In vitro activity:
To determine whether EGFR tyrosine kinase is involved in genistein‐induced increase of BK current, AG556, a tyrphostin which selectively inhibited EGFR tyrosine kinase, was tested in BK‐HEK 293 cells. AG556 (10 μM) reversibly increased the voltage‐dependent BK current (Fig. 3A), and the effect was antagonized by co‐application of 1 mM orthovanadate (Fig. 3B). The mean percent value of BK current at +70 mV was increased to 151.8% of control by AG556, and the increase was reversed by washout or application of orthovanadate (Fig. 3C). These results indicate that EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibition may contribute to the increase of BK current by AG556 and genistein.

In vivo activity:
Rat testis tissues from all groups were examined under light microscopy during analysis of histopathological findings. Johnsen MTBS scores for both testes in all groups are shown in Table 1. Distribution of Johnsen's scores for the left testis are shown in Fig. 2. On the basis of these results, distinct histopathological injury developed in association with I/R reperfusion when T/D was applied (group 1 vs. group 2; p = 0.004). Group 4 (DMSO + AG556) and group 3 exhibited a protective effect against I/R injury compared with group 2 (group 2 vs. group 4, group 2 vs. group 3, p = 0.002). Although group 4 and group 3 showed significant difference compared with group 1 (group 4 vs. group 1, p < 0.05; group 3 vs. group 1, p < 0.05), AG 556 had a significant superior effect compared with DMSO (group 4 vs. group 3, p = 0.004).
