| Bioactivity | Terreic acid, a quinone epoxide antibiotic, acts as an effective Btk inhibitor. Terreic acid blocks the interaction between PKC and the pleckstrin homology domain of Btk. Terreic acid inhibits the binding of GST-BtkPH to PKC in lysates of HMC-1 human mast cells with an IC50 of approximately 100 μM[1]. |
| Invitro | Terreic acid inhibits the association of Btk with PKCβII in mouse mast cells at lower concentrations (IC50 of ≈30 μM). Terreic acid inhibits the catalytic activity of Btk but not PKC[1].Terreic acid (pretreatment for 30 min before stimulation by antigen for 3 min) inhibits both the basal and activation levels of Btk autophosphorylating activity with IC50s of 10 μM and 3 μM, respectively[1].Terreic acid inhibits the autophosphorylating activity of Btk purified partially from recombinant baculovirus-infected Sf9 insect cells in a dose-dependent manner[1].
