General description

A potent, cell-permeable, reversible, ATP-competitive, and selective protein kinase C inhibitor (IC50 = 15 nM for rat brain PKC). Exhibits some degree of isozyme specificity (IC50 = 8 nM for PKCα, 8 nM for PKCβI, 14 nM for PKCβII, 13 nM for PKCγ, and 39 nM for PKCε). Shows slight selectivity for the conventional PKC isozymes PKCα, PKCβ, and PKCγ over the Ca2+-independent PKC isozyme PKCε. Upregulates CD11a expression and enhances mesenchymal stromal cell adhesion under flow.
