Biological Data

Biological description Potent and selective protein phosphatase 1 and 2A catalytic subunit inhibitor (IC50 values are 2 and 0.5 - 1 nM respectively). Inhibits smooth muscle myosin B phosphatase catalytic subunit (IC50 = 0.7 nM). Thought to act a as a calcium channel blocker, blocks intracellular calcium increase and prevents cell cycle progression. Shows Alzheimer's disease-like actions; causes tau protein hyperphosphorylation and impairs spacial memory retention.
