Inhibitors of protein kinase C. 2. Substituted bisindolylmaleimides with improved potency and selectivity
Open accessAbstract
A hypothetical mode of inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) by the natural product staurosporine has been used as a basis for the design of substituted bisindolylmaleimides with improved potency over the parent compound. Structure-activity relationships were consistent with the interaction of a cationic group in the inhibitor with a carboxylate group in the enzyme, and the most potent compound had a Ki of 3 nM. The inhibitors were competitive with ATP but inhibited cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) only at much higher concentrations despite the extensive sequence homology between the ATP-binding regions of PKA and PKC. Three compounds were evaluated further and found to inhibit a human allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reaction pointing to the potential utility of PKC inhibitors in immunosuppressive therapy. One of these compounds was orally absorbed in the rat and represents an attractive lead in the development of PKC inhibitors as drugs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
