Highly specific inhibitor of protein kinase C (IC50 = 50 nM); requires light for activation. At higher concentrations (100 nM or greater), it has been shown to inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in vitro.

Apoptosis was induced in human glioma cell lines by exposure to 100 nM calphostin C, a specific inhibitor of protein kinase C. Calphostin C-induced apoptosis was associated with synchronous down-regulation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL as well as activation of caspase-3

Calphostin C (UCN-1028C), a newly isolated compound from Cladosporium cladosporioides, is a potent and specific inhibitor of protein kinase C, because it was 1000 times more inhibitory to protein kinase C (IC50, 0.05 microM) than other protein kinases such as

Calphostin C acts at the regulatory domain as a highly selective inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), and staurosporine acts at the catalytic domain as a nonspecific PKC inhibitor. The authors investigated the capacity of calphostin C and staurosporine to
Potent and specific inhibitors of protein kinase C have been found in streptomyces and fungi: Staurosporine, an alkaloid from Streptomyces sp., is the most potent inhibitor of protein kinases with an IC50 in the nanomolar range. UCN-01 (7-hydroxy staurosporine), isolated

Calphostin C, a secondary metabolite of the fungus Cladosporium cladosporioides, inhibits protein kinase C by competing at the binding site for diacylglycerol and phorbol esters. Calphostin C is a polycyclic hydrocarbon with strong absorbance in the visible and ultraviolet ranges.
