PKC Agonist

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.

12-Deoxyphorbol-13-isobutyrate-20-acetate is a 12-deoxy-phorbol diterpene ester. 12-Deoxyphorbol-13-isobutyrate-20-acetate is a protein kinase C (PKC) agonist that activates protein kinase C to phosphorylate troponin I and troponin T. 12-Deoxyphorbol-13-isobutyrate-20-acetate induces skin irritation and necrosis in mice without cocarcinogenic activity. 12-Deoxyphorbol-13-isobutyrate-20-acetate inhibits Aspergillus carbonarius growth. 12-Deoxyphorbol-13-isobutyrate-20-acetate supports research on heart failure, cardiomyopathies and fungal infection.

Pseudo RACK1, a peptide, is a PKC agonist with homologous sequences of PKC. Pseudo RACK1 interacts selectively with β-PKC at an autoregulatory site (RACK-binding site) and activates it in the absence of PKC activators, following inducing PKC-mediated histone phosphorylation.
