Staurosporine（Cat No.:I004373）is a potent, naturally occurring alkaloid isolated from Streptomyces species, known for its broad-spectrum inhibition of protein kinases. Structurally, it features an indolocarbazole core that mimics ATP, allowing it to competitively bind kinase active sites. Staurosporine is widely used in biochemical research to study cell signaling, apoptosis, and kinase-related pathways. Despite its high cytotoxicity and lack of selectivity, it serves as a lead compound for developing more specific kinase inhibitors. Its strong activity has made it a valuable tool in cancer research, neurobiology, and drug discovery platforms.
