T. Frew et al., A MULTIWELL ASSAY FOR INHIBITORS OF PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOL-3-KINASE ANDTHE IDENTIFICATION OF NATURAL PRODUCT INHIBITORS, Anticancer research, 14(6B), 1994, pp. 2425-2428
A convenient and reliable multisample assay for the screening of inhib
itors of the growth factor signalling enzyme phosphatidylinositol-3-ki
nase (PtdIns-3-K) has been developed Four natural product inhibitors o
f Ptdlns-3-K have been identified with IC50 values for hypericin 0.18
mu M, emodin 3.3 mu M, asperuloside 2.0 mu M and uttronin A 1.1 mu M.
