Abstract: Benzolactone-V8 (4) is a lactone analogue of the artificial tumor promoter benzolactam-V8 (1). To investigate the effect of hydrophobic substituents at positions 7 and 15 of 4 on binding selectivity for protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes, 7- and 15-decylbenzolactone-V8 (7, 8) were synthesized and their binding affinities for synthetic PKC isozyme C1 peptides were examined. Compound 8 showed moderate selectivity for novel PKC isozymes similar to 9-decylbenzolactone-V8 (5), while 7 was less selective. Compounds 7 and 8 showed no significant selectivity among novel PKC isozymes unlike 8-decylbenzolactone-V8 (6). These results indicate that the introduction of a hydrophobic substituent at position 8 of 4 is most effective in the development of PKC epsilon- and PKCeta-selective binders.
