12-Deoxyphorbol 13-isobutyrate

12-Deoxyphorbol 13-isobutyrate (ER272) (DPB), a diterpene, is a PKCα activator. 12-Deoxyphorbol 13-isobutyrate can be isolated from Euphorbia resinifera's latex. 12-Deoxyphorbol 13-isobutyrate facilitates neural stem cells (NSCs) proliferation and activation as well as TGFα release in a reaction dependent on PKCα activation. 12-Deoxyphorbol 13-isobutyrate increases cognitive performance and hippocampal neurogenesis in senescence-accelerated mouse-prone (SAMP8) models. 12-Deoxyphorbol 13-isobutyrate can be used for neurodegenerative diseases research[1][2].
