Bisindolylmaleimide III
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Bisindolylmaleimide III is a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor with IC50 values of 0.26, 5.7, and 6 μM against PKCα, PKCδ, and PKCμ, respectively. Bisindolylmaleimide III also exhibits inhibitory activity against other off-targets, with IC50 values of 0.17, 1, and 2 μM against SLK, adenosine kinase (AK), and CDK2, respectively; its Ki for NQO2 is 16.5 μM. Bisindolylmaleimide III selectively binds to activated Rsk1 following EGF stimulation, and serves as a tool for detecting the activation status of intracellular Rsk1 and PKCα, as well as for functional analysis of SLK. Bisindolylmaleimide III can be used in studies of signal transduction and colorectal cancer.

Bisindolylmaleimide III (75 min) potently and selectively inhibits PKCα in human IM-9 lymphocytes, reducing PDBu (HY-18985)-induced hGH-BP release with an IC50 of 0.33 μM[2].
Bisindolylmaleimide III (0.1-2.5 μM; 45 min) inhibits the phosphorylation of PDBu-enhanced 42, 45, 53 and 83 kDa extracellular proteins in human IM-9 lymphocytes, with IC50 values ranging from 0.23 to 0.32 μM[2].
Bisindolylmaleimide III (20 μM; 6-24 h) hydrochlorid does not sensitize human colon adenocarcinoma COLO 205 cells to TNF-α-dependent apoptosis, which is evidenced by unchanged procaspase-3 levels and only a mild decrease in cell viability within 24 hours[3].
Bisindolylmaleimide III (20 μM; 21 h) hydrochlorid does not interfere with the TNF-α-dependent apoptosis-sensitizing activity of Bisindolylmaleimide IX in human colon adenocarcinoma COLO 205 cells[3].

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 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (3.25 mM); Clear solution
