Prostratin, a natural terpenoid compound, is a PKC activator, with a Ki of 12.5 nM and shows inhibitory effect on HIV-1.
Prostratin inhibits [3H]PDBu binding to the CEM cells with a Ki of 210 nM[1].
Prostratin (125-1000 nM) dose-dependently inhibits the growth of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines (HL-60, NB4, and U937 cells). Prostratin (125-100 nM) induces G1 arrest of AML cells and affects the cell-cycle-related molecules (pRb phosphorylation, CDKs, and p21) in HL-60 cells. Prostratin also causes differentiation in AML cell lines via activation of PKC. Furthermore, PKC-dependent activation of the MEK/ERK/MAP signaling pathway requires differentiation induced by Prostratin[2].
Prostratin induces HIV-1 transcription activation requiring active form of PKD3. Prostratin also activates PKD3 via PKCε of novel PKC subfamily[3].
