Enzastaurin inhibits PKCb, PKCa, PKCy and PKCe with IC50's of 0.006, 0.039, 0.083 and 0.110uM, respectively. Enzastaurin apparently inhibits tumor growth via multiple mechanisms: suppression of tumor cell proliferation, induction of tumor cell apoptosis and inhibition of tumor-induced angiogenesis.
Solubility:Soluble in DMSO at 7.1mg/ml with warming; very poorly soluble in ethanol; very poorly soluble in water; maximum solubility in plain water is estimated to be about 1-10uM; buffers, serum, or other additives may increase or decrease the aqueous solubility.
Storage and Stability:May be stored at RT for short-term only. Long-term storage is recommended at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap.
