BAMB-4
BAMB-4 is an inhibitor of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate-3-kinase A (ITPKA) with an IC50 value of 20 µM [1].
ITPKA is an InsP3 kinase. It binds to actin filaments and bundles them. This protein regulates actin dynamics as well as inositol phosphate signaling [1].
BAMB-4 was almost completely taken up by H1299 cells. BAMB-4 did not belong to typical kinase inhibitors. Its relatively high specificity and high cellular uptake provide the possibility to effectively inhibit InsP3 kinase in vivo. Among InsP3Kinase inhibitors, BAMB-4 exhibit the lowest inhibition frequency. BAMB-4 showed an inhibitory effect only in 1 from 42 tested targets. There was no detected BAMB-4 target in kinase screens. These results indicated that BAMB-4 is not a typical kinase inhibitor. In vitro, data showed that BAMB-4 increased Km and reduced Vmax with respect to InsP3. BAMB-4 at the lowest concentration (10 µM) increased the Km-value for InsP3 by 160%. BAMB-4 at elevated concentrations did not further rise the Km-value for InsP3. BAMB-4 dose-dependently decreased Vmax from 75% to 50%. Decreased Vmax and increased Km in presence of inhibitor indicated that BAMB-4 might belong to mixed type inhibitors. Data showed that BAMB-4 also reduced Vmax and increased Km with respect to ATP [2].
There is still no any available result of the application of BAMB-4 in animals.

Cell lines |
KB-3-1 cells |
Reaction Conditions |
10 μM BAMB-4 for 12 h incubation |
Applications |
Inhibition of inositol-trisphosphate 3-kinase B (ITPKB) activity by BAMB-4 treatment resulted in increased ROS level, NOX activity, and cisplatin response in cancer cells. The BAMB-4 effect was abolished in cells lacking ITPKB. |
Animal experiment:[1] | |
Animal models |
Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse models of ovarian cancer and lung cancer |
Dosage form |
10 mg/kg Administered by intraperitoneal injection twice a week after 42 days from xenograft |
Applications |
No obvious histopathological changes or kidney injury were observed in mice chronically exposed to BAMB-4 (10 mg/kg), cisplatin (5 mg/kg), or the combination. The combination of BAMB-4 and cisplatin significantly reduced tumor growth, tumor size, and tumor proliferation in ovarian cancer PDX and lung cancer PDX mice. |
