Calphostin B
Calphostin B is a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.04 μM in rats and an IC50 of 22.9 μM for bovine cyclic adenosine monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (PKA). Calphostin B bears aromatic structures at positions C-14 and C-17, which accounts for its higher selectivity for PKC over PKA. Calphostin B can be used in studies related to human cervical cancer and human breast cancer.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.

Breast Cancer Modeling
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous cancer, and it has been distinguished into four subtypes: luminal A, luminal B, HER2-positive and basal-like. Molecular mutations, epigenetic alterations, hormone exposure and immune microenvironment are related to the progression of breast cancer.
