K-252C

The Uses of K-252C

Inhibits protein kinase C

What are the applications of Application

K252c is a PKC inhibitor with selective for PKCA

Biological Activity

Inhibitor of protein kinase C (IC 50 = 2.45 μ M) that displays ~ 10-fold selectivity over protein kinase A (IC 50 = 25.7 μ M). Also inhibits β -lactamase, malate dehydrogenase and chymotrypsin (IC 50 values are 8, 8 and 10 μ M respectively). Exhibits antiviral activity against GCV-sensitive and -resistant strains of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) (IC 50 values range from 0.13-0.32 μ M). Shows no activity against herpes simplex virus (HSV).
