TC-DAPK 6

Death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) is a serine/threonine protein kinase implicated in diverse programmed cell death pathways. DAPK is a promising target protein for the treatment of ischemic diseases. TC-DAPK 6 is an oxazalone compound that acts as a potent, ATP-competitive, and highly selective death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) inhibitor (IC50 = 69 and 225 nM against DAPK1 and DAPK3, respectively, with 10 μM ATP); while exhibiting much reduced or no activity against a panel of 48 other kinases even at concentrations as high as 10 μM.
