Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Ro 31-8425 is a potent and selective inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), particularly targeting conventional and novel PKC isoforms. It exhibits nanomolar potency, with reported IC₅₀ values of approximately 6 nM for PKCα and 9 nM for PKCβ. Ro 31-8425 is cell-permeable and has been shown to effectively inhibit PKC-mediated phosphorylation events in cellular assays at concentrations around 100–300 nM. It displays minimal activity against other kinases such as PKA, PKG, or CAMKII at these concentrations, indicating high selectivity.
