Product Description
Rohinitib is a potent and specific eIF4A inhibitor. Rohinitib causes apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines and reduces leukemic burden in AML xenograft model mice. Rohinitib may be utilized in the study of AML.
Rohinitib (also known as ROH) is a small molecule inhibitor that selectively targets the eIF4A (eukaryotic initiation factor 4A) RNA helicase. It belongs to the class of rocaglates (flavaglines) and is a synthetic derivative of natural products. Rohinitib binds to eIF4A and traps it on specific polypurine sequences in the 5' untranslated regions of mRNAs, thereby blocking translation initiation of oncogenes.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Rohinitib targets eIF4A (eukaryotic initiation factor 4A), an ATP-dependent DEAD-box RNA helicase that unwinds secondary structure in the 5' UTR of mRNAs during translation initiation. It binds to a conserved cleft in eIF4A and induces conformational changes that lock eIF4A onto polypurine sequence motifs, preventing its release. This selectively inhibits translation of mRNAs with structured 5' UTRs, including many oncogenes (e.g., MYC, BCL2, CCND1, MCL1).
ln Vitro
For AML cell lines and FLT3-ITD-positive AML cell lines, rohinitib (6.25–50 nM; 72 h) causes cell apoptosis[1]. Normal bone marrow (BM) is less sensitive to Rohinitib (25 nM; 72 h) than primary AML cells, and FLT3-ITD-positive cells are more sensitive than FLT3 wild-type AML cells[1].
In vitro, rohinitib inhibits eIF4A ATPase and helicase activity with IC50 values in the low nanomolar range (e.g., 10-50 nM in biochemical assays). In cancer cell lines, it reduces translation of proteins such as c-MYC, BCL2, and cyclin D1 at concentrations of 50-200 nM, leading to G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. It shows antiproliferative activity across a panel of hematologic and solid tumor cell lines with GI50 values typically 10-500 nM.
ln Vivo
In vivo, rohinitib (0.75 and 1.0 mg/kg; sc once daily for 5 days until mice get moribund) exhibits anti-AML effects[1].
In xenograft mouse models, rohinitib (10-40 mg/kg, intraperitoneally, daily or every other day) significantly inhibits tumor growth. In a Burkitt lymphoma model (Ramos cells), 20 mg/kg once daily for 14 days reduced tumor volume by >80% compared to vehicle. In a multiple myeloma model (MM.1S), similar efficacy was observed. Rohinitib was well tolerated with mild weight loss at higher doses. It has also shown efficacy in patient-derived xenograft models of pancreatic and breast cancer.
Enzyme Assay
For eIF4A ATPase activity: Incubate recombinant human eIF4A (100 nM) with 10 uM poly(U) RNA, varying concentrations of rohinitib (0.1-1000 nM) in ATPase buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 50 mM KCl, 2 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT). Add ATP (1 mM) and incubate at 37degC for 30 min. Measure free phosphate using a malachite green assay. For helicase assay, prepare a fluorescent RNA duplex substrate; measure unwinding by decrease in FRET. Calculate IC50 from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
Apoptosis Analysis[1]
Cell Types: AML cell lines
Tested Concentrations: 6.25, 12.5, 25 and 50 nM
Incubation Duration: 72 h
Experimental Results: Dose-dependently induced apoptosis of MOLM-13, MOLM-14, MV4;11, OCI-AML3, THP-1, HL-60, Kasumi-1 and NB4 cell lines. And Dramatically induced cell apoptosis of FLT3-ITD, FLT3-ITD-expressing murine Ba/F3 and human OCI-AML3 cells.
For cell-based translation assays: Culture cancer cells (e.g., HeLa, Ramos). Treat with rohinitib (1-1000 nM) for 4-24 hours. For nascent protein synthesis, add 35S-methionine or O-propargyl-puromycin (Click-iT) for 30-60 min. For OPP incorporation, fix cells, click with fluorescent azide, and analyze by flow cytometry or microscopy. For specific protein levels, perform western blotting for c-MYC, MCL1, cyclin D1, and loading controls. Assess cell viability using MTT or CellTiter-Glo after 48-72 hour treatment.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Female NSG mice with AML xenografts generated by intravenous (iv)injections of MOLM-13 cells[1]
Doses: 0.75 and 1.0 mg/kg
Route of Administration: subcutaneous (sc)injection; 0.75 and 1.0 mg/kg one time/day 5 days a week until mice get moribund
Experimental Results: Dramatically diminished the leukemia burden, circulating and BM leukemic human CD45+ cells. Dose-dependently prolonged the survival rate of mice.
For xenograft efficacy studies: Subcutaneously inject 5×10⁶ cancer cells (e.g., Ramos, MM.1S, or MiaPaCa-2) into the flank of athymic nude mice. When tumors reach ~100-150 mm3, randomly assign mice to treatment groups (n=8-10). Administer rohinitib intraperitoneally at 10, 20, or 40 mg/kg once daily (or every other day) in vehicle (10% DMSO, 40% PEG300, 5% Tween-80, 45% saline). Continue for 14-21 days. Measure tumor volume by calipers every 2-3 days. At study end, collect tumors for western blot and immunohistochemistry (cleaved caspase-3, Ki67). Monitor body weight daily.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No detailed pharmacokinetic data is publicly available. In mouse studies, rohinitib administered intraperitoneally (20 mg/kg) reaches peak plasma concentrations within 1-2 hours, with a half-life of approximately 3-5 hours. It shows moderate oral bioavailability (around 20-30%). The compound is extensively metabolized, likely by CYP3A4. It distributes well to tissues, including tumors. The pharmacokinetic profile supports once daily dosing in preclinical models.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
In animal studies, rohinitib was tolerated at doses up to 40 mg/kg (i.p., daily) with mild reversible weight loss (<10%). At higher doses (60 mg/kg), significant weight loss, lethargy, and gastrointestinal toxicity were observed. No hematologic or major organ toxicity was reported at therapeutic doses. Rohinitib has not been tested in humans; its clinical safety profile is unknown. Handle with appropriate precautions as a potential cytotoxic agent.
