Biological target:
RU320521 inhibits the cGAS-mediated signaling with IC50 of 700 nM. RU.521 binds to the cGAS/dsDNA complex with Kd of 36.2 nM.
In vitro activity:
RU320521 is capable of potently and selectively inhibiting mouse and human cGAS in cell lines and human primary cells. When RU320521 is applied to cells, the production of dsDNA-induced intracellular cGAMP is suppressed in a dose-dependent manner. This work validates the use of RU320521 for probing DNA-induced innate immune responses and underscores its potential as an ideal scaffold towards pre-clinical development, given its potency against human and mouse cGAS.

In vivo activity:
RU320521 was investigated in a study focused on trauma-induced delayed bone healing. In C57BL/6 J mice, RU320521 reduced IFNβ levels in bronchioalveolar fluid at 24 hours. RU320521 administration immediately after injury led to improved bone healing. These data reveal that the cGAS-STING signaling pathway influences trauma-induced delayed bone healing.
