NCIt definition : A macrocyclic lactone isolated from the bryozoan Bugula neritina with antineoplastic
activity. Bryostatin 1 binds to and inhibits the cell-signaling enzyme protein kinase
C, resulting in the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, the promotion of tumor
cell differentiation, and the induction of tumor cell apoptosis. This agent may act
synergistically with other chemotherapeutic agents. (NCI04);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance being studied in the treatment of cancer and certain brain
conditions such as Alzheimer disease and stroke. It binds to an enzyme involved in
cell growth and it may help anticancer drugs work better. Bryostatin 1 comes from
a marine organism. It is a type of protein kinase C modulator.;
