title: Indolocarbazole protein kinase C inhibitors from rebeccamycin.
abstract: Structural modifications were carried out on rebeccamycin, an antitumour antibiotic, to obtain analogues. The inhibitory potencies of these analogues against protein kinase C are compared. The method described represents an alternative route to the staurosporine aglycone, a potent protein kinase C inhibitor.
