General description

Ro 31-8220 is a bisindolylmaleimide derivative of staurosporine. Ro 31-8220 blocks MAP kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) expression, induces c-Jun expression and stimulates Jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK1). It has immunosuppressive properties.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The role of protein kinase C (PKC) in inflammation, mitogenesis, and differentiation has been deduced in part through the use of a variety of PKC inhibitors. Two widely used inhibitors are the structurally related compounds GF109203X and Ro-31-8220, both of

The protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors Ro 318220 and GF 109203X have been used in over 350 published studies to investigate the physiological roles of PKC. Here we demonstrate that these inhibitors are not selective for PKC isoforms as was
