Ro 31-8220 formic
Based on 13 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Ro 31-8220 formic is a potent PKC inhibitor, with IC50s of 5, 24, 14, 27, 24 and 23 nM for PKCα, PKCβI, PKCβII, PKCγ, PKCε and rat brain PKC, respectively. Ro 31-8220 formic also significantly inhibits MAPKAP-K1b, MSK1, S6K1 and GSK3β (IC50s, 3, 8, 15, and 38 nM, respectively). Ro 31-8220 formic can also inhibit the expression of MKP-1, induce the expression of c-Jun, and activate JNK, and these effects possess pharmacological properties independent of PKC.
