Ro 31-6045 (113963-68-1) is a bis indolylmaleimide derivative that is a potent inhibitor of the mitogen-stimulated protein kinase p70 (S6K) acting independently of its upstream activator mTOR.1?Does not inhibit PKC (at concentrations <100?mM) and therefore may be used as a negative control for bisindolylmaleimide PKC inhibitors2?such as GF 109203X3?and other structurally related inhibitors4.
