Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

SR8278 is a rev-erbα antagonist. It inhibits Rev-Erbα transcriptional repression (EC50 = 0.47 μM) and blocks activity of Rev-Erbα agonist GSK 4112 in HEK293 cells. SR8278 increases expression of glucose-regulating genes, G6Pase and PEPCK in HepG2 cells.

Product Data
Biological target:
SR8278 is an antagonist of REV-ERBα (EC50 = 0.47 µM), blocking activation of the receptor by the synthetic agonist GSK 4112.
In vitro activity:
SR8278 has limited utility for UV photoprotection in the skin and will likely cause phototoxicity in humans or mammals exposed to solar radiation. SR8278 promoted UVB viability, indicating that SR8278 is likely acting via other REV-ERB transcriptional targets. SR8278 also sensitized keratinocytes to light sources containing primarily UVA wavelengths of light likely due to the generation of toxic reactive oxygen species. Reference: Photochem Photobiol. 2024 Mar 8. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38459721/
In vivo activity:
SR8278 is a potential drug for mood disorders related to circadian disturbances, namely sundowning syndrome, in Parkinson's disease. SR8278 exerted antidepressant and anxiolytic effects in a circadian time-dependent manner in 6-OHDA-lesioned mice and restored the circadian rhythm of mood-related behaviors. Also, SR8278 treatment restored the binding activities of REV-ERBα and NURR1 to the tyrosine hydroxylase promoter and the induction of enrichment of the R/N motif.
