TV 3279 is a novel ChE-MAI inhibitor , and the neuroprotective properties depend on their ability to induce the anti-apoptotic proteins PKC, Bcl-2, Bcl-x, and SOD, and to block the nuclear translocation of the pro-apoptotic enzyme glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase in PC-12 and neuroblastoma cells.

Psychosine (Galactosylsphingosine) is a PKC inhibitor, a substrate for the enzyme galactosylceramide cerebrosidase (GALC), and a potential biomarker of Krabbe's disease.

Selective cell-permeable peptide inhibitor of protein kinase C (IC50 ~ 0.5 μM). Consists of amino acids 19 - 31 of PKC pseudosubstrate domain linked by a disulphide bridge to a cell permeabilisation Antennapedia domain vector peptide. The Antennapedia peptide is actively taken up by intact cells, at 4 or 37°C, ensuring rapid and effective uptake of the inhibitor peptide. Once inside the cell, the disulphide bonds are subjected to reduction in the cytoplasm leading to release of the inhibitor peptide.
