Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Bisindolylmaleimide VIII (Ro 31-7549) is a potent and selective protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor with an IC50 of 158 nM for rat brain PKC. Bisindolylmaleimide VIII has IC50s of 53, 195, 163, 213, and 175 nM for PKC-α, PKC-βI, PKC-βII, PKC-γ, PKC-ε, respectively. Bisindolylmaleimide VIII facilitates Fas-mediated apoptosis and inhibits T cell-mediated autoimmune diseases.

Bisindolylmaleimide VIII (5 μM; 8, 12 hours) dramatically increases TRA-8-induced cell death in time-dependent and TRA-8 dose-dependent manners[2].
Bisindolylmaleimide VIII (5 μM; 6 hours) significantly decreases procaspase-8 at 4 h and completely disappeares at 6 h after the combined treatment with TRA-8[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
