Enzastaurin is a synthetic bisindolylmaleimide with potential antineoplastic activity. Binding to the ATP-binding site enzastaurin selectively inhibits protein kinase C beta an enzyme involved in the induction of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-stimulated neo-angiogenesis. This agent may decrease tumor blood supply preventing growth.In 2013 it failed a phase III clinical trial for lymphoma.
