Background: AICAR (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxyamide ribonucleoside) is an adenosine analog taken up by muscle and phosphorylated to form 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1--D-ribofuranosyl-5'-monophosphate (ZMP), which stimulates AMPK activity and glucose transport in skeletal muscle (1). AICAR has been used in studies measuring glucose uptake, diabetes and insulin resistance, and energy regulation during exercise. AICAR acts by entering nucleoside pools and significantly increasing levels of adenosine during periods of ATP breakdown (2).
Background: Bisindolylmaleimide I (BIS) is a potent inhibitor of PKC (1,2). In vitro the IC50 of BIS is 10-20 nM for PKCα/β/γ and 100-200 nM for PKCδ/ε isoforms. The in vitro IC50 for PKCζ is about 6 μM, indicating that BIS is a very weak inhibitor for this isoform. In in vivo cellular assays the IC50 of BIS for PKC is between 0.2-2 μM (1,3).
