Potent and specific inhibitor of the protein kinase c-Raf (IC50=70nM). Has no significant effect on many other protein kinases tested (even at 50µM) with the exception of p38 (SAPK2α) (IC50=2µM) and SAPK2β (p38β) (IC50=2µM). Induces a paradoxical >100-fold activation of c-Raf in whole cells. Induces apoptosis in a variety of cell lines. Cell permeable.
Application Procedures
First dissolved in DMSO (up to 50 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO may be stored at -20°C for up to 1 month.
