aPKC-ζ 5 μM (IC50)
The compound specifically targets Protein Kinase C-zeta (PKC-zeta), an atypical PKC isoenzyme involved in key signaling pathways that regulate cell polarity, proliferation, and survival. It is a selective inhibitor with an IC50 of 5 microM, making it a valuable tool for dissecting PKC-zeta-mediated cellular functions. |

| ln Vitro |
At 20 μM, ζ-Stat (0.1–20 µM) only exhibits 13% inhibition on PKC–ζ; but, at 5 μM, it exhibits a strong 51% inhibition on PKC–ζ[1]. As the concentrations of ζ-Stat (0.1-10 µM; 3 d) increase, so does the cell proliferation of SK-MEL-2 and MeWo. The combination of 5-FU and ζ-Stat (7 or 10 µM; 24-72 h) can reduce the viability of LoVo CRC cells by about 75%[2]. ζ-Stat (5 µM; 3 d) significantly reduces the levels of Bcl-2, PARP, and phosphorylated total PKC-ζ in SK-MEL-2 and MeWo cells while increasing the levels of caspase-3 and cleaved PARP[1]. On MEL-F-NEO, SK-MEL-2, and MeWo cells, ζ-Stat (5 µM; 1–10 h) does not exhibit appreciable cytotoxicity[1].
In vitro, zeta-Stat trisodium effectively reduces the proliferation of melanoma cell lines and induces apoptosis. By selectively inhibiting PKC-zeta, it disrupts downstream pro-survival signaling cascades, leading to growth arrest and cell death in cancer cells. It has demonstrated consistent antitumor activity across multiple melanoma cell lines. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo data for zeta-Stat trisodium is currently limited, as it is primarily a research tool for in vitro studies. Its demonstrated ability to reduce proliferation and induce apoptosis in vitro positions it as a potential candidate for future in vivo studies in animal models of melanoma and other cancers.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Cell-free PKC-zeta activity assays are performed using immunoprecipitated PKC-zeta from cell lysates or a purified recombinant enzyme. The kinase is incubated with a specific substrate (e.g., myelin basic protein or a synthetic peptide), [gamma-32P]ATP, and varying concentrations of zeta-Stat trisodium. The IC50 is determined by measuring the incorporation of radiolabeled phosphate into the substrate.

Cell Proliferation Assay[1]
Cell Types: MEL-F-NEO, SK-MEL-2 and MeWo cells Tested Concentrations: 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 µM Incubation Duration: 3 days Experimental Results: diminished proliferation by 47.7% for 5 µM in SK-MEL-2 cells and by 50.6% for 5 µM in MeWo cells. demonstrated significant inhibitions on MEL-F-NEO cells 19.3% (P ≤ 0.05) at 10 μM. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Types: SK-MEL-2 and MeWo cells Tested Concentrations: 5 µM Incubation Duration: 3 days Experimental Results: diminished phosphorylated and total PKC-ζ levels. Cellular assays are performed in cancer cell lines (e.g., melanoma). Cells are seeded in multi-well plates and treated with zeta-Stat trisodium for 24-72 hours. Cell proliferation is measured using a standard MTT or CCK-8 assay. Apoptosis is assessed by flow cytometry using Annexin V/PI staining or by measuring caspase-3/7 activity. |
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies for PKC-zeta inhibitors are typically conducted in xenograft mouse models of cancer (e.g., melanoma). Animals are implanted subcutaneously with cancer cells and once tumors are established, they are treated with zeta-Stat trisodium via intraperitoneal or intratumoral injection. Tumor growth is monitored over time to evaluate antitumor efficacy.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
The pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of zeta-Stat trisodium is currently being characterized. As an anionic molecule (trisodium salt), its absorption and cellular permeability are key areas of focus. Early data suggests it is suitable for in vitro use, with ongoing work to optimize its properties for in vivo studies.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological profiles have not been formally established. The compound is intended for research use only and is not for human consumption. Standard safety precautions for handling cytotoxic agents and fine chemicals should be followed. It has shown activity in cancer cell lines, indicating potential for target-based toxicity.

| Additional Infomation |
zeta-Stat trisodium, with the molecular formula C10H5Na3O10S3 and a molecular weight of 450.31, is a specific chemical probe for PKC-zeta. Unlike general PKC inhibitors, its selectivity for the atypical zeta isoform makes it a critical tool for deconvoluting the specific role of aPKC in physiological and pathological conditions, particularly in cancer research.
