NSC 228155 promotes transactivation of several RTKs, including ErbB2 and ErbB3, Insulin R and IGF-1 R receptors in the cells. It stimulates dimerization of sEGFR domain II[1]. NSC 228155 can rapidly move across cell membranes and disperse within both cytoplasmic and nuclear compartments. It rapidly generates hydrogen peroxide within cells[2]. NSC 228155 is also a potent inhibitor of KIX-KID interaction(IC50 = 0.36 μM), but it is not particularly selective against CREB-mediated gene transcription in HEK 293T cells[3].
