Balanol, which is derived from fungi of the genus Verticillium, especially the fungus Verticillium balanoides, is provided. Balanol, when substantially pure, is soluble in dimethyl sulfoxide, water, and methanol; insoluble in ethyl acetate and chloroform; gives a positive color reaction with polymolybdic acid, ninhydrin reagent, and ferric chloride; is negative with Dragendorff's reagent and Iodoplatinate spray; has an Rf value of approximately 0.58 with silica gel thin layer chromatography with n-butanol/acetic acid/water at a ratio of 4:1:1 respectively; and has a molecular weight of approximately 550. Compounds of the invention are useful for inhibiting protein kinase C and treating conditions related to, or affected by inhibition of protein kinase C, particularly cancer tumors, inflammatory disease, reperfusion injury, and cardiac dysfunctions related to reperfusion injury. |
