Biological Activity for Calphostin C

Calphostin C is a potent, selective and photo-dependent inhibitor of protein kinase C that targets the regulatory domain (IC₅₀ = 50 nM). Displays > 1000-fold selectivity over other protein kinases such as cAMP-dependent protein kinase and tyrosine-specific protein kinase. Inhibits cell proliferation of malignant glioma cells in light-treated conditions in vitro (IC₅₀ ~ 40 - 60 nM). Also an antagonist of the Tcf/β-catenin complex.
