Bisindolylmaleimide I (GF109203X) is a highly selective, cell-permeable, and reversible protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor with a Ki of 14 nM.
Daphnetin (7,8-dihydroxycoumarin), one coumarin derivative isolated from plants of the Genus Daphne, is a protein kinase inhibitor, with IC50s of 7.67 μM, 9.33 μM and 25.01 μM for EGFR, PKA and PKC in vitro, respectively[1][2]. Daphnetin (7,8-dihydroxycoumarin) is a secondary metabolite of plants used in folk medicine to counter inflammatory and allergic diseases, also has been clinically used in the treatment of coagulation disorders, rheumatoid arthritis with anti-malarian and anti-pyretic properties[3].
CDK8-IN-12 is an orally active, potent CDK8 inhibitor with a Ki of 14 nM. CDK8-IN-12 has off-target kinase inhibition on GSK-3α, GSK-3β, PCK-θ with Kis of 13 nM, 4 nM, 109 nM, respectively. CDK8-IN-12 shows potent anti-proliferative effects selectively on MV4-11 cell. CDK8-IN-12 is an anti-cancer agent[1].
N-Desmethyltamoxifen hydrochloride is the major metabolite of tamoxifen in humans. N-Desmethyltamoxifen, a poor antiestrogen, is a ten-fold more potent protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor than Tamoxifen. N-Desmethyltamoxifen hydrochloride is also a potent regulator of ceramide metabolism in human AML cells, limiting ceramide glycosylation, hydrolysis, and sphingosine phosphorylation[1][2][3].
p32 inhibitor M36 (M36) is a p32 mitochondrial protein inhibitor, which binds directly to p32 and inhibits p32 association with LyP-1[1].
Bisindolylmaleimide VIII acetate (Ro 31-7549 acetate) is a potent and selective protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor with an IC50 of 158 nM for rat brain PKC. Bisindolylmaleimide VIII acetate has IC50s of 53, 195, 163, 213, and 175 nM for PKC-α, PKC-βI, PKC-βII, PKC-γ, PKC-ε, respectively[1]. Bisindolylmaleimide VIII acetate facilitates Fas-mediated apoptosis and inhibits T cell-mediated autoimmune diseases[2].
Balanol (Ophiocordin; Azepinostatin) is a potent and ATP competitive PKC/PKA inhibitor against human PKC isozymes α, β-I, β-II, γ, δ, ε, η (IC50s=4-9 nM) and ζ (IC50=150 nM). Balanol also blocks the phosphorylation of cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB) and myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS). Balanol can be isolated from the fungus Verticillium balanoides[1][2].
Ingenol Mebutate is an active ingredient in Euphorbia peplus, acts as a potent PKC modulator, with Kis of 0.3, 0.105, 0.162, 0.376, and 0.171 nM for PKC-α, PKC-β, PKC-γ, PKC-δ, and PKC-ε, respectively, and has antiinflammatory and antitumor activity.
Fasudil (HA-1077; AT877) hydrochloride semihydrate is a nonspecific RhoA/ROCK inhibitor and also has inhibitory effect on protein kinases, with an Ki of 0.33 μM for ROCK1, IC50s of 0.158 μM and 4.58 μM, 12.30 μM, 1.650 μM for ROCK2 and PKA, PKC, PKG, respectively. Fasudil hydrochloride semihydrate is also a potent Ca2+ channel antagonist and vasodilator[1][2][3].
