Chemical Name:(1R,6S)-3-Hydroxy-4-methyl-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]hept-3-en
e-2,5-dione
Biological Activity:
Selective
inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). Inhibits the interaction between
PKCβII and BTK (IC50 ~ 30 μM) and the catalytic activity of BTK
but does not affect the activity of PKC. Has little effect on the activities of
Lyn, Syk, PKA, casein kinase I, ERK1, ERK2 and p38 kinases.
