(E)-SI-2 is a potent small-molecule inhibitor of steroid receptor coactivator-3 (SRC-3 or AIB1) that can selectively inhibit the intrinsic transcriptional activities of SRC-3, also inhibits SRC-1 and SRC-2. It selectively reduces cellular protein levels of SRC-3, but not that of CARM-1, blocks MDA-MB-468 cell growth with an IC50 value of 3.4 nM, but spares normal cells.

SI-2 is an inhibitor (SMI) of steroid receptor coactivator-3 (SRC-3 or AIB1). SI-2 can selectively reduce the transcriptional activities and the protein concentrations of SRC-3 in cells, and selectively induce breast cancer cell death with IC50 values in the low nanomolar range (3-20 nM), but not affect normal cell viability.

SI-2 hydrochloride (EPH 116 hydrochloride) is a highly promising inhibitor of SRC-3 SMI: SRC-3 (PPI)(IC50 values of 3-20 nM for breast cancer cell death), with acceptable oral availability.
