Description:

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

Ro 48-8071 is an orally active cholesterol synthesis inhibitor or a 2,3-oxidosqualene:lanosterol cyclase (OSC) inhibitor. OSC (EC 5.4.99.7) represents a unique target for a cholesterol-lowering drug. Partial inhibition of OSC should reduce synthesis of lanosterol and subsequent sterols, and also stimulate the production of epoxysterols that repress HMG-CoA reductase expression, generating a synergistic, self-limited negative regulatory loop.

Biological target:
Ro 48-8071 fumarate is an inhibitor of OSC (Oxidosqualene cyclase) with IC50 of appr 6.5 nM.
In vitro activity:
Addition of Ro48‐8071 to self‐renewing T2EC cells caused reduction in cell number, detectable at the beginning of treatment and becoming significant by fourth day after inhibitor addition, when treated populations showed reduction in cell number in the order of 40% compared to untreated control (Fig. 1: 1.0×106 ± 0.2 and 1.7×106 ± 0.4, respectively). This effect was amplified over time and after 7 days treatment, cell number of Ro48‐8071‐treated population was four times lower than that of the control group (Fig. 1: 8.6 ×106 ± 1.4 and 3.2×107 ± 0.3 respectively). Reference: Cell Prolif. 2011 Oct; 44(5): 441–452. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6495882/
In vivo activity:
Treatment with Ro 48‐8071 resulted in a statistically significant decrease in axin2 expression (Figure 1b). However, treatment with lonafarnib, which inhibits farnesylated isoprenoids did not result in a statistically significant decrease in axin2 expression. This study next analyzed the effects of increased concentrations of Ro 48‐8071 on axin2 expression. Embryos were treated with 1, 2, or 3 μM Ro 48‐8071 and the level of axin2 expression was measured by qPCR at 30 HPF. This study observed decreased axin2 expression in all groups, with the most dramatic decrease in embryos treated with the highest concentration of 3 μM (Figure 1c).
