Ruboxistaurin mesylate monohydrate is a PKC beta inhibitor potentially for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy and diabetic macular edema. Ruboxistaurin attenuates diabetic nephropathy via modulation of TGF-β1 Smad and GRAP pathways. Ruboxistaurin reduces oxidative stress and attenuates left ventricular hypertrophy and dysfunction in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Ruboxistaurin inhibits retinal neovascularization via suppression of phosphorylation of ERK1 2 and Akt.
