Go6976 is a potent inhibitor of PKC in vitro IC50 is 20 nM. This compound is structurally related to staurosporine, which is the most potent PKC inhibitor[1]. UCN-01 is originally identified as a PKC inhibitor. Surprisingly, Go6976 is found to abrogate S and G2 arrest. Dose-response studies reveal that 30 nM Go6976 is sufficient to cause abrogation of S-phase arrest in 6 h and abrogation of G2 arrest followed by lethal mitosis in 24 h. Incubation of cells with 100 nM Go6976 is sufficient to cause complete abrogation of S and G2 arrest at 6 and 24 h, respectively, which is only slightly less potent than in bovine serum. Incubation of cells with UCN-01 or Go6976 alone do not decrease viability compared with control at the concentrations used. Incubation of cells with 5 ng/mL SN38 result in cytostasis, and addition of 50 nM UCN-01 or 100 nM Go6976 to arrested MDA-MB-231 cells cause a dramatic decrease in viable cell number by 96 h[2].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: 3.25 mg/mL (8.59 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 3.25 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

Protocol
Logarithmically growing cells are incubated with or without 5 ng/mL SN38 for 24 h and then incubated with or without 50 nM UCN-01 or 100 nM Go6976 for the following 24 h. MDA-MB-231 (500 cells) or MCF-10A (1000 cells) are plated in 100 μL in each well of a 96-well plate. The following day, drugs are added at the desired concentrations (Go6976: 1, 3, 10, 30, 100 nM) and with the required schedule to replicate wells (a minimum of 4 wells/concentration). Drugs are removed, and plates are rinsed and then incubated for an additional 6 days. Inhibition of growth was then assessed on the basis of DNA content. Briefly, the media are removed, and attached cells are washed in 0.25×PBS, followed by the addition of 100 μL of H2O. Cells are lysed by freeze/thawing the plates. Hoechst 33258 is added in high-salt buffer, cells are incubated for 2 h, and fluorescence is measured[2].
