PP2 is a reversible and ATP-competitive Src family kinases inhibitor with IC₅₀s of 4 and 5 nM for Lck and Fyn, respectively.

IC50: 4 nM (Lck), 5 nM (Fyn)^[1]

At 10 μM, the effect of PP2 on cellular proliferation is not significant, indicating that, at this low concentration, the effect of PP2 on Gemcitabine cytotoxicity does not simply reflect a direct antiproliferative effect, but rather a potentiation of Gemcitabine-induced cytotoxicity. Above 20 μM, growth is increasingly suppressed, a finding consistent with reports in other human cancer cell lines. Although 10 μM PP2 is used in our study, at higher concentrations PP2 is reported to inhibit other intracellular kinases^[2]. PP2 is the most widely used commercially available Src family kinase inhibitor. PP2 inhibits Src family kinase activity with IC₅₀ of ~5 nM in vitro, concentrations to 10 μM are often necessary to achieve complete Src family kinase inhibition in cell culture^[3].
