Ap. Kozikowski et al., SYNTHESIS OF THE BENZOFURAN ANALOG OF ILV, A NEW-PROTEIN KINASE-C (PKC) ACTIVATOR, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 4(4), 1994, pp. 637-640
In order to probe the effect of small structural changes on the PKC ac
tivity of the natural product indolactam V (ILV), a synthesis of its b
enzofuran analogue was developed. This compound was found to be simila
r in its activity to ILV, exhibiting a Ki of 17.3 +/- 3.7 nM in the di
splacement of [H-3]PDBU from PKC alpha.
