The trypanocidal activity of naturally occurring 6-(3,4-dihydroxystyryl)-4-hydroxy-2-pyrone (hispidin) prompted us to examine its cytotoxic activity toward normal and cancerous cells in culture. Hispidin synthesized in our laboratory to a high degree of purity (checked by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy)

KV1.5 channel function is modified by different regulatory subunits. KVβ1.3 subunits assemble with KV1.5 channels and induce a fast and incomplete inactivation. Inhibition of PKC abolishes the KVβ1.3-induced fast inactivation, decreases the amplitude of the current KV1.5-KVβ1.3 and modifies their

Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) induces phenotypic changes in the morphology of microvascular endothelial cells that affect major functions of the microvasculature. These functions include the first stages of sprouting in angiogenesis, cell migration following wounding, and vascular permeability.
