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.
Ingenol 3,20-dibenzoate is a potent protein kinase C (PKC) isoform-selective agonist. Ingenol 3,20-dibenzoate induces selective translocation of nPKC-delta, -epsilon, and -theta and PKC-mu from the cytosolic fraction to the particulate fraction and induces morphologically typical apoptosis through de novo synthesis of macromolecules. Ingenol 3,20-dibenzoate increases the IFN-γ production and degranulation by NK cells, especially when NK cells are stimulated by NSCLC cells[1][2].
Bryostatin 3, a macrocyclic lactone, is a protein kinase C activator, with a Ki of 2.75 nM. Bryostatin 3 can block 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) inhibition of cell proliferation, yet did not block TPA-enhanced cell-substratum adhesion[1][2].
Rottlerin is a specific PKC inhibitor, with IC50 values for PKCδ of 3-6 μM, PKCα,β,γ of 30-42 μM, PKCε,η,ζ of 80-100 μM.
DCPLA-ME, the methyl ester form of DCPLA, is a potent PKCε activator for use in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases[1].
KT5823, a selective the cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) inhibitor with an Ki value of 0.23 μM, it also inhibits PKA and PKC with Ki values of 10 μM and 4 μM, respectively[1]. KT5823 is a staurosporine-related protein kinase inhibitor, increases thyroid-stimulating hormone-induced (Na+/I- symporter) NIS expression, and iodide uptake in thyroid cells[2]. KT5823 arrests cells after the G0/G1 boundary and causes increases in the levels of apoptotic DNA fragmentation[3].
7-Oxostaurosporine is a potent protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor that effectively inhibits tumor growth by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting the nuclear factor (NF)-κB/p-p65 pathway[1][2].
[Ala9,10, Lys11,12] Glycogen Synthase (1-12) is a selective substrate for phosphorylation by protein kinase C (PKC). [Ala9,10, Lys11,12] Glycogen Synthase (1-12) can be used to determine the activity of protein kinase C[1].
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].
