    Calphostin C

    ৳28,466.37 - ৳99,479.25
    Calphostin C (PKF115-584) is a perylenequinione isolated from the fungus, Cladosporium cladosporioides and inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in vitro.

    Calphostin C is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF and DMSO.
    Mechanism of ActionCalphostin C is a potent and specific inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), with inhibition being light dependent. Calphostin C is an antagonist of Tcf4/b-catenin signalling, inhibiting the expression of survivin and inducing apoptosis in several tumor cell lines.
