In view of its role in tumor promotion and signal transduction, protein kinase C (PKC) has proven to be an exciting target for cancer therapy. With the aid of molecular modeling, we rationally designed and stereoselectively synthesized a new class of rigidified pyrrolidone-based PKC activators. Pyrrolidone 15 was found to exhibit reasonable affinity for PKCdelta, with lower affinity for the other isozymes tested. Pyrrolidone 2 causes the dose-dependent induction of apoptosis in LNCaP prostate cancer cells. This apoptotic effect could be markedly potentiated by the use of LNCaP cells overexpressing the PKCalpha or delta isozymes.
