General description

A cell-permeable mono-indolylmaleimide compound that selectively blocks oxidative stress-induced necrotic cell death (~3 µM IM-54 prevented ~50% cell death in HL60 cells exposed to 100 µM H2O2). Does not offer protection against Etoposide- (Cat. No. 341205) induced apoptosis or display antioxidant properties. Does not affect the kinase activities of S6K1 and PKC isozymes even at concentrations as high as 50 µM.
