| Bioactivity | Staurosporine is a potent, ATP-competitive and non-selective inhibitor of protein kinases with IC50s of 6 nM, 15 nM, 2 nM, and 3 nM for PKC, PKA, c-Fgr, and Phosphorylase kinase respectively. Staurosporine also inhibits TAOK2 with an IC50 of 3 μM. Staurosporine is an apoptosis inducer[1][2][3][4][5]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Staurosporine, widely used as a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor with a broad spectrum of activity, is an alkaloid isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces staurospores. MC3T3E-1 osteoblasts, expose to Staurosporine (100 nM) for 12 h, release an amount of LDH (12.4±3.1%) that is similar to that release by the control cells(10.0±2.4%), indicating the relative absence of lytic death, which occurs in necrosis. In addition, treatment with Staurosporine (100 nM) results in morphological changes, characteristic of apoptosis: a brightblue fluorescent condensed nuclei seen through a fluorescence microscope after Hoechst 33258-staining, and a reduction of cell volume[2]. | ||||||||||||
