General description

Chemical structure: indol derivative
Staurosporinefrom Streptomyces sp. is an alkaloid that induces apoptosis in a rangeof cell lines. It facilitates the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, PKCinhibition, and blockage of cell cycle progression in various cells. Themechanisms followed by staurosporine-induced apoptosis differ among differentcell lines that include, mitochondrial apoptotic pathway, Bcl-2 overexpession,and caspase-independent mechanisms. It partially reverses multi-drug resistance (MDR), sensitizing cellswith MDR phenotype to cytotoxic agents. Staurosporine inhibits p-glycoprotein(Pgp) phosphorylation. However, the functional significance of Pgpphosphorylation is ill-defined.

Application

Staurosporine from Streptomyces sp. was used to induce cell death in human mesenchymal stem cells and to induce cell death by PKC inhibition in hamster lung fibroblast line CCL-39.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Staurosporine from Streptomyces sp. yields clear, colorless to faint yellow solution in methanol at 2 mg/ml.
Potent inhibitor of phospholipid/calcium-dependent protein kinase. Inhibits the upregulation of VEGF expression in tumor cells.

Protein-based drug transporters are found in most tissues including liver, kidney, intestine, and brain. These transporters are particularly important in cancer treatment and multi-drug resistance research. Understanding the specific mechanisms of tumor cell transporters is becoming an essential aspect of chemotherapeutic drug design.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
