RK-682 hemicalcium 

RK-682 hemicalcium is the hemicalcium salt form of RK-682 (HY-135564A). RK-682 hemicalcium is the inhibitor for protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase), heparanase, phospholipase A2 and HIV-1 protease. RK-682 hemicalcium inhibits the dephosphorylation of CD45 (IC₅₀ is 54 μM) and VHR (IC₅₀ is 2.0 μM), and thereby inhibits the ERK signaling pathway. RK-682 hemicalcium inhibits the cell viability of cancer cell MGH-U3, T24 and UROtsa with IC₅₀s of 78.2, 43.2 and 145 nM, respectively, arrests the cell cycle at G1/S phase, inhibits the cell migration and autophagy in MGH-U3 and T24^[1][2]^[3].
