Palovarotene (formerly RO-3300074; R-667; Sohonos) is a novel, potent and highly selective retinoic acid receptor gamma (RAR-γ) agonist that is being investigated as a potential treatment for emphysema. Palovarotene effectively inhibited HO in injury-induced and genetic mouse models of the disease. It additionally prevents spontaneous HO, using a novel conditional-on knock-in mouse line carrying the human ACVR1(R206H) mutation for classic FOP. In addition, palovarotene restored long bone growth, maintained growth plate function, and protected growing mutant neonates when given to lactating mothers. Importantly, palovarotene maintained joint, limb, and body motion, providing clear evidence for its encompassing therapeutic potential as a treatment for FOP. Palovarotene (Sohonos) was approved in 2023 by FDA for treating Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva.

Palovarotene, a potent RAR-γ agonist, is particularly effective in preventing chondrogenesis and HO in both a genetic model of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) as well as in an animal model of combat-related HO. Treatment with Palovarotene was found to dampen the systemic inflammatory response including the cytokines IL-6 (p = 0.01), TNF-α (p = 0.001), and IFN-γ (p = 0.03) as well as the local inflammatory response via a 76% reduction in the cellular infiltration at post-operative day (POD)-7 (p = 0.03). Palovarotene decreased osteogenic connective tissue progenitor (CTP-O) colonies by as much as 98% both in vitro (p = 0.04) and in vivo (p = 0.01) [2].

| ln Vivo |
Palovarotene inhibits trauma-induced ectopic bone development and mediates osteogenesis and post-traumatic bone formation. Palovarotene is used to monitor intraoperative and subcutaneous heterotopic ossification (HO) following trauma. During the first 14 days of the trial, palovarotene was given orally at a dose of 1 mg/kg/day beginning on day 1 or day 5. H2O volume, wound breakdown, and associated processes were periodically observed for up to 84 days. When compared to vehicle animals, palovarotene dramatically lowers H2O by 50% to 60% per dosage [1]. Half of the Acvr1cR206H/+ mice got daily treatment with palovarotene for 14 days starting on the first day of damage, while the other half were given a vehicle as a control. Large tissue masses were seen in the target legs of the vector-acvr1cR206H/+ mutation, according to analysis of mCT and 3D image formation reconstructions after 14 days. However, palovarotene-treated partners showed significantly lower HO, as measured by bone volume/total volume formation, which improved by more than 80%[2].

Effects of Palovarotene on CTP-O Proliferation In Vitro[2]
Muscle-derived rat mesenchymal stem cells (rMSCs) from the quadriceps muscles of two naïve donor rats (2nd passage) were seeded in triplicate at a density of 1 × 103 cells/well in 6-well plates in normal growth media supplemented with 10% FBS, 100 U/ml penicillin, and 100 μg of Fungizone (Lonza) for 24 h at 37°C in fully humidified 5% CO2 in air atmosphere. For the differentiation study group, normal growth media was changed to osteogenic media and supplemented with varying concentrations of Palovarotene (25, 50, 125 nM) or DMSO (125 nM) with media changes every 3 days. After 7 days, adherent cell colonies were rinsed twice with PBS, fixed with 100% methanol for 5 min at room temperature, air-dried, stained with Crystal violet solution for 5 min, and then rinsed with distilled water to remove residual dye. Colonies with greater than 25 cells/colony were counted using light microscopy by a reader (TAD) that was blinded to the treatment groups. |
| Animal Protocol |
Rat Model for Combat-Related HO[2].
Sixty rats were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups, Palovarotene or vehicle control (5% DMSO in corn oil), with six time points per group (n = 5 rats/treatment group/time point). Twelve rats were used as naïve controls and not exposed to injury. The 60 rats in the treatment groups were subjected to blast overpressure via a pneumatically driven shock tube (120 ± 7 kPa), femur fracture, soft tissue crush injury, and amputation through the zone of injury. Postoperative pain was managed using sustained-release buprenorphine (1.2 mg/kg) subcutaneously on the day of surgery with repeat dosing after 72-h, if needed, as previously described. Rats received via oral gavage (100 μl) of either Palovarotene (1.0 mg/kg; Atomax Chemicals, Shenzhen, China) or vehicle control every other day for 14 days beginning on POD)-1. Palovarotene purity confirmed greater than 98%. Postoperatively, rats were routinely monitored for signs of pain, weight loss, or wound complications and wounds that exhibited signs of infection or dehiscence were irrigated, débrided, and closed. Early euthanasia was performed if rats demonstrated a failure to thrive, persistent infection, or wound dehiscence after a third débridement. At study endpoint, rats were euthanized with pentobarbital (Fatal Plus; 390 mg/kg intraperitoneally; Patterson Veterinary, Devens, MA). Two rats died on POD-1, one from the 7 day vehicle control group and one from the 7 day Palovarotene group leaving a total of four animals in each of these two groups. |

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.03 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.02 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
