The protein kinase C (PKC) family of isoenzymes is believed to mediate a wide range of signal-transduction pathways in many different cell types. A series of bisindolylmaleimides have been evaluated as inhibitors of members of the conventional PKC family (PKCs-alpha, -beta, -gamma) and of a representative of the new, Ca(2+)-independent, PKC family, PKC-epsilon. In contrast with the indolocarbazole staurosporine, all the bisindolylmaleimides investigated showed slight selectivity for PKC-alpha over the other isoenzymes examined. In addition, bisindolylmaleimides bearing a conformationally restricted side-chain were less active as inhibitors of PKC-epsilon. Most noticeable of these was Ro 32-0432, which showed a 10-fold selectivity for PKC-alpha and a 4-fold selectivity for PKC-beta I over PKC-epsilon.
蛋白激酶C(PKC)同工酶家族被认为在许多不同细胞类型中介导广泛的信号转导途径。一系列双吲哚马来酰胺已被评估为传统PKC家族成员(PKC-α、-β、-γ)以及新型、不依赖Ca²⁺的PKC家族代表PKC-ε的抑制剂。与吲哚咔唑星形孢菌素不同,所有研究的双吲哚马来酰胺对PKC-α的选择性略高于其他检测的同工酶。此外,带有构象受限侧链的双吲哚马来酰胺作为PKC-ε的抑制剂活性较低。其中最显著的是Ro 32-0432,它对PKC-α的选择性为10倍,对PKC-βI的选择性比对PKC-ε高4倍。
