Bisindolylmaleimide IV is a potent cell-permeable inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC) with IC50 values are 0.1- 0.55μM[1]. Bisindolylmaleimide IV inhibits the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) with IC50 ranging from 3.1-11.8μM[2]. Bisindolylmaleimide IV is primarily used in research related to cancer biology[3], cardiovascular diseases[4], and diabetes, particularly in studies investigating PKC-mediated signaling pathways and their impact on cellular functions[5].
Bisindolylmaleimide IV (20μM) down-regulates cellular caspase 8 (FLICE)-like inhibitory protein (c-FLIPL) expression and facilitates CD95-mediated apoptosis in monocyte-derived dendritic cells[6]. Bisindolylmaleimide IV (0.1-100μM) inhibits the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from human neutrophils stimulated by agents such as IL-3, phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), and sodium fluoride in a dose-dependent manner[7].

Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Dendritic cells |
Preparation Method | Dendritic cells were incubated in medium in the presence of anti-CD95 mAb (0.5μg/mL) with or without Bisindolylmaleimide IV (20μM). After 18 hours, cells were fixed, DNA was stained with propidium iodide (PI), and the percentage of hypodiploid nuclei (subG1 peak) was analyzed with use of flow cytometry. |
Reaction Conditions | 20μM; 18h |
Applications | Bisindolylmaleimide IV facilitates apoptosis induced by anti-CD95 mAb. |
