Novel, cell-permeable inhibitor of protein kinase Mζ (PKMζ), a constitutively active, atypical PKC isozyme involved in LTP maintenance. Selectively blocks PKMζ-induced synaptic potentiation in hippocampal slices in vitro. Reverses late-phase LTP (IC50 = 1 - 2.5 μM) and produces persistent loss of 1-day-old spatial memory following central administration in vivo.

20-HETE promotes cell proliferation and migration in cancer and can be used to study prostate tumors and cardiac hypertrophy by activating the protein kinase C pathway to increase FBXO10 expression.

PKCiota-IN-2 (PKCiota-IN-49) is a selective and potent PKCiota (PKC-ι) inhibitor with an IC50 of 2.8 nM. PKCiota-IN-2 also inhibits PKC-α and PKC-ε with IC50s of 71 nM and 350 nM, respectively
