Product Description
Ruboxistaurin (LY-333531; LY333531) is a novel, potent and specific inhibitor of PKCβ (protein kinase C) with potential antidiabetic activity. It competitively and reversibly inhibits PKCβ1 and PKCβ2 with IC50 values of 4.7 and 5.9 nM respectively. It has the usefulness to treat diabetic nephropathy and diabetic macular edem. LY333531 strikingly decreases the chance of HUVEC survival and the effect of LY333531 on apoptotic cell death in HUVEC significantly increases compared with the AGEs group. Blockade of PKC-beta up-regulates the expression of Bax and Bad proteins and down-regulates the expression of Bcl-2 protein. Moreover, LY333531 reduces the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax.
Ruboxistaurin (LY333531) (CAS: 169939-94-0) is a selective, orally active inhibitor of protein kinase C beta (PKCβ). It inhibits PKCβ I with an IC50 of 4.7 nM and has a Ki of 2 nM for PKCβ. Ruboxistaurin acts as an ATP-competitive inhibitor. It was developed for the treatment of diabetic complications, including diabetic retinopathy and diabetic nephropathy. Ruboxistaurin is used as a research tool to study the role of PKCβ in various diseases.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of Ruboxistaurin is protein kinase C beta (PKCβ), a serine/threonine protein kinase that is a member of the PKC family. PKCβ is involved in various cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, and is activated by diacylglycerol and calcium. Ruboxistaurin acts as a selective, ATP-competitive inhibitor of PKCβ, with a Ki of 2 nM. It inhibits PKCβ I with an IC50 of 4.7 nM. By inhibiting PKCβ, Ruboxistaurin modulates downstream signaling pathways involved in diabetic complications.
ln Vitro
Ruboxistaurin is a PKCβ benchmark that is both selective and ATP-competitive. Its IC50s for PKCβI and PKCβII are 4.7 and 5.9 nM, respectively. It also exhibits modest inhibition of PKCη (IC50: 52 nM), PKCα (IC50: 360 nM), PKCγ (IC50: 300 nM), and PKCδ (IC50: 250 nM). It has no effect on PKC z (IC50: >100 μM). Significantly inhibiting pivoted monocyte apoptosis at concentrations indistinguishable from near labeling of endothelial cells by monocytes under NG circumstances was ruboxistaurin (10 and 400 nM). Both endothelial cell proliferation and marker molecule expression are unaffected by rutobistatin (10 and 400 nM) [2]. Human glomerular endothelial (HRGEC) vitality induced by high gradients (HG) is decreased by rutosistaurin (LY333531; 10 nM), which also prevents the increase in swiprosin-1 in HRGEC with HG [3].
Ruboxistaurin demonstrates potent and selective inhibition of PKCβ in vitro, with a Ki of 2 nM and an IC50 of 4.7 nM for PKCβ I. The compound acts as an ATP-competitive inhibitor, meaning it competes with ATP for binding to the kinase active site. However, detailed cellular activity data, such as effects on PKCβ-mediated signaling pathways, are not extensively reported in the available literature.
ln Vivo
In diabetic mice, ruboxistaurin (1 mg/kg; 8 weeks) dramatically decreased the overexpression of swiprosin-1 and GEC while also improving glomerular damage. Ruboxistaurin has the ability to efficiently inhibit the expression of PARP, cleaved-caspase9, cleaved-caspase3, and Bax/Bcl-2 in diabetic mice [3]. The oral dose of rutinistaurin (0.1–10.0 mg/kg) dramatically lowers the amount of leukocytes in the diabetic microcirculation [4].
Ruboxistaurin has been investigated in clinical trials for the treatment of diabetic complications, including diabetic retinopathy and diabetic nephropathy. The compound is orally active, indicating good oral bioavailability. However, specific in vivo efficacy data, including clinical trial results, are not extensively detailed in the available literature.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for Ruboxistaurin typically involve measuring its inhibition of PKCβ activity. Recombinant PKCβ enzyme is incubated with a peptide substrate and ATP in the presence of varying concentrations of Ruboxistaurin. The incorporation of phosphate into the substrate is measured, and the IC50 for inhibition is calculated. Ruboxistaurin shows an IC50 of 4.7 nM for PKCβ I. The Ki of 2 nM is determined from enzyme kinetics at different ATP concentrations.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for Ruboxistaurin are performed in cells to assess its effects on PKCβ-mediated signaling. Cells are treated with Ruboxistaurin, and the phosphorylation of PKCβ substrates is measured by Western blotting using phospho-specific antibodies. The compound's effects on cell proliferation, apoptosis, and other PKCβ-dependent processes are assessed.

Biological Data
  • Endothelial cells were cultured in different media containing 5.5 and 27.7 mM glucose representing NG and HG conditions. HG cultures reveal decreased cell growth compared to NG cultures, whereas the addition of ruboxistaurin at different concentrations (10 and 400 nM) did not affect cell growth.[3]. Kunt T, et al. The beta-specific protein kinase C inhibitor ruboxistaurin (LY333531) suppresses glucose-induced adhesion of human monocytes to endothelial cells in vitro. J Diabetes Sci Technol. 2007 Nov;1(6):929-35.
  • Compared to normoglycemia, there was a 30.9 ± 5.1% increase of monocyte adhesion after stimulation with 27.7 mM glucose. Coincubation of these hyperglycemic cultures with either a β-specific concentration (10 nM) or a nonspecific concentration (400 nM) of ruboxistaurin was able to suppress monocyte adhesion to levels that were not significantly different from those seen in NG cultures [-7.2 ± 3.1 and -8.1 ± 2.6%, respectively; each not significant (n.s.) vs NG].[3].

  • Stimulation of endothelial cells with 27.7 mM glucose (HG) did not modify expression of the investigated adhesion molecules (VCAM-1, ICAM-1, and E-selectin) compared to endothelial cells grown in medium containing 5.5 mM glucose (data not shown). Coincubation with a β-specific (10 nM) and a nonspecific (400 nM) concentration of ruboxistaurin did not change the endothelial expression of adhesion molecules, as shown by means of a chemiluminescence assay (not significant vs each hyperglycemic control).[3].
