Sotrastaurin (AEB071)
AEB071 is an inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC). The PKC inhibitor which can block the T-cell activation has the ability of immune suppression [1].
The protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms is very important in cell signaling, proliferation, differentiation, migration, survival, and death. PKC family has many isoforms. Among the PKC isoforms, PKC isoforms have basal effect on the T cells’ activation and other immune cell functions [2,3].
ABE071 is a potent inhibitor of novel and classical PKC isoforms. Through the inhibition of PKC, AEB071 can depress the activation and proliferation of T-cell and decrease the production of cytokine.ABE071 can also suppress the NK cell activity. Ex vivo stimulation of lymphocytes from subjects exposed to single doses of AEB071 resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of both lymphocyte proliferation and IL2 mRNA expression
AEB071 is an effective treatment strategy for the cure of autoimmune diseases. According to the Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) score, after 2 weeks’ treatment with 300 mg bid AEB071, Clinical severity of psoriasis was reduced up to 69% compared with baseline[2,3].

Binding assays |
Classical and novel PKC isotypes were assayed by scintillation proximity assay technology. In brief, the assay was performed in 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.4, and 0.1% bovine serum albumin by incubating 1.5 μM of the peptide substrate with 10 μM [33P]ATP), 10 mM Mg (NO3)2, 0.2 mM CaCl2, and PKC at a protein concentration varying from 25 to 400 ng/ml, and lipid vesicles containing 30 mol% phosphatidylserine, 5 mol% diacylglycerol (DAG), and 65 mol% phosphatidylcholine at a final lipid concentration of 0.5 μM. Incubation was performed for 60 min at room temperature. The reaction was stopped by adding 50 μl of a mixture containing 100 mM EDTA, 200 μM ATP, 0.1% Triton X-100, and 0.375 μg/well streptavidin-coated scintillation proximity assay beads in PBS without Ca2+ and Mg2+. Incorporated radioactivity was measured in a MicroBetaTrilux counter for 1 min. |
