Biological Data

Biological description Potent and selective protein kinase C inhibitor (IC50 = 158 nM). Displays selectivity for PKC-α over PKC-β1, PKC-βII, PKC-γ and PKC-ε (IC50 values are 53, 195, 163, 213, 175 nM respectively). Facilitates Fas-mediated apoptosis and enhances DR5 mediated apoptosis. Also CDK2 antagonist (IC50 = 600 nM).
