Description:

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

Rhosin is an inhibitor of RhoA and RhoC interaction with GEFs. It acts by preventing RhoA activation and downstream MLC phosphorylation, filamentous actin formation and focal adhesion assembly without perturbing endogenous Cdc42 or Rac signalling.

Product Data
Biological target:
Rhosin binds to RhoA to inhibit RhoA-GEF interaction with a Kd of ~ 0.4 uM. It does not interact with Cdc42 or Rac1, nor the GEF, LARG. Rhosin induces cell apoptosis. Rhosin promotes stress resiliency through enhancing D1-MSN plasticity and reducing hyperexcitability.
In vitro activity:
Rhosin inhibited tumor cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix via suppression of RHAMM expression, and inhibited SDF-1-induced cell migration and invasion by decreasing CXCR4 expression in B16BL6 and 4T1 cells. These results suggest that rhosin’s inhibition of RhoA/C-YAP pathway has potential as a therapeutic approach in patients with melanoma and breast cancer. Reference: Biomedicines. 2021 Jan 4;9(1):35. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33406809/
In vivo activity:
When 25 μM of Y16 and 25 μM of Rhosin were combined, the inhibitory effect on LARG-RhoA interaction was statistically significant. When Y16 and Rhosin were combined, a significantly reduced concentration could effectively inhibit MYPT1 phosphorylation (2.5 μM compared with 5 μM for Y16 alone).
