TMB-8•HCl is a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor which also serves as an intracellular Ca2+ antagonist. TMB-8•HCl possesses both Ca2+ channel- and Na+ channel-blocking properties and reduces the membrane K+ conductance. Shown to nonselectively inhibit membrane currents in single isolated guinea pig ventricular cardiomyocytes and to inhibit 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3A (5-HT3A, SR-3A) receptor-mediated currents. TMB-8•HCl inhibits platelet-activating factors (PAF) and PMA-stimulated prostaglandin production in Kupffer cells. Research shows that TMB-8•HCl accumulates at the lipid-water interphase of biologic membranes and therefore interferes with the normal function of many membrane proteins. A useful tool to distinguish dependence on intracellular versus extracellular Ca2+.
