Conventional (alpha, beta I, beta II, gamma) and novel (delta, epsilon, eta, theta) protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes are main targets of tumor promoters, such as phorbol esters and indolactam-V ( ILV). We have recently found that 1-hexyl derivatives of indolinelactam-V ( 2, 3), in which the indole ring of ILV was replaced with the indoline ring, showed a binding preference for novel PKCs over conventional PKCs. To develop a new ILV analogue displaying increased synthetic accessibility and improved binding selectivity for novel PKCs, we have designed 8-octyl-benzolactam-V9 ( 4), a simple analogue without the pyrrolidine moiety of 2 and 3. Compound 4 showed significant binding selectivity for isolated C1B domains of novel PKCs. Moreover, 4 translocated PKC epsilon and eta from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane of HeLa cells at 1 mu M, whereas other PKC isozymes did not respond even at 10 mu M. These results indicate that 4 could be a selective activator for PKC epsilon and eta.
