A cell-permeable thiophenecarboxamide compound that is shown to increase glucose metabolism and activate intracellular insulin signaling. Acts as a potent, competitive and reversible inhibitor of SHIP2 activity (Ki=0.44uM for hSHIP2) with moderate to excellent selectivity over SHIP1 and other related phosphatases (IC50=0.18, 0.57, 21, >50, >50 and >50uM for mSHIP2, hSHIP2, hSHIP1, hPTEN, h-synaptojanin and h-myotubularin, respectively). Elevates insulin-induced pAkt-Ser473 levels and enhances glucose transporter GLUT1 mRNA expression in L6 myotubes. SHIP1 Inhibitor, 3AC is also available.
