PKC η inhibitors represent a class of chemicals that play a crucial role in modulating the activity of protein kinase C eta (PKC η), a member of the PKC family of serine/threonine kinases. These inhibitors act through various mechanisms, primarily by directly binding to PKC η and inhibiting its kinase activity. One prominent example is Gö 6983, which selectively targets PKC isoforms, including PKC η, by binding to the ATP-binding site of the kinase. This binding blocks PKC η from undergoing activation and participating in downstream signaling events. Similarly, Enzastaurin and Sotrastaurin act as ATP-competitive inhibitors, specifically targeting PKC η, thereby interfering with its kinase activity. Staurosporine, a broad-spectrum protein kinase inhibitor, also effectively inhibits PKC η by competing with ATP for binding to the kinase's active site. In contrast, Bisindolylmaleimide I and Bisindolylmaleimide V belong to the bisindolylmaleimide family of PKC inhibitors and exert their inhibitory effects by directly binding to PKC η's ATP-binding site, interfering with its kinase activity. Ro 31-8220 is another potent PKC inhibitor that targets PKC η and other isoforms by competing with ATP for binding.
Chelerythrine, a natural alkaloid compound, acts as a PKC inhibitor, including PKC η, by binding to the catalytic domain of the kinase. Similarly, Rottlerin, a polyphenolic compound, selectively inhibits PKC δ but can also affect PKC η by interacting with the regulatory domain of the kinase. GF 109203X, a broad-spectrum PKC inhibitor, effectively targets PKC η by competing with ATP for binding to the kinase's active site. These PKC η inhibitors serve as valuable tools for researchers to investigate the role of PKC η in various cellular processes and signaling pathways. Overall, PKC η inhibitors offer valuable insights into the functional roles of PKC η and its involvement in diverse cellular processes.
