Enzastaurin


Enzastaurin is a synthetic bisindolylmaleimide with potential antineoplastic activity. Binding to the ATP-binding site, enzastaurin selectively inhibits protein kinase C beta, an enzyme involved in the induction of vascular endothelial growth factor -stimulated neo-angiogenesis. This agent may decrease tumor blood supply, preventing growth.
In 2013 it failed a phase III clinical trial for lymphoma.
