Product Description

Ro 31-8220 is a novel and potent pan-PKC inhibitor with IC50 of 5 nM, 24 nM, 14 nM, 27 nM, and 24 nM for PKC-α, PKC-βI, PKC-βII, PKC-γ, and PKC-ε, respectively, and also shows potent inhibition against MAPKAP-K1b, MSK1, GSK3β and S6K1. Ro-31-8220 displayed apoptotic effect on HL-60 cells, which was mediated by a well-characterized transduction process of apoptotic signals: i.e., mitochondrial cytochrome c efflux and the activation of caspase-3 in the cytosol. Ro-31-8220 showed the apoptotic effect on HL-60 cells, which was mediated by a well-characterized transduction process of apoptotic signals: i.e., mitochondrial cytochrome c efflux and the activation of caspase-3 in the cytosol.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
With IC50s of 5, 24, 14, 27, 24, and 23 nM for PKCα, PKCβI, PKCβII, PKCγ, PKCε, and rat brain PKC, respectively, Ro 31-8220 is a strong inhibitor of PKC[1]. Furthermore, Ro 31-8220 strongly inhibits MSK1, S6K1, GSK3β, and MAPKAP-K1b (IC50s: 3, 8, 15, and 38 nM, respectively); MKK3, MKK4, MKK6, and MKK7 are unaffected. Moreover, voltage-dependent Na+ channels are directly suppressed by Ro 31-8220[2]. In cerebellar granule neurons, Ro 31-8220 (1 μM) is neuroprotective against paraoxon-induced neuronal cell death, inhibits paraoxon-induced caspase-3 activity, and lowers the increase in phospho-PKC pan levels caused by paraoxon [3].
ln Vivo
In mice, Ro 31-8220 (6 mg/kg/d, sc) has a half-life of 5.7 hours and is well tolerated. After six weeks of therapy, MLP−/− mice treated with Ro 31-8220 exhibit a substantial rescue in fractional shortening, but WT mice show no change[4].
Animal Protocol
6 mg/kg/d; s.c.
The affects of long-term Ro 31-8220 administration over 4 to 6 weeks in MLP / heart failure mice are investigated. All mice are assessed for ventricular performance by echocardiography at the beginning of the study and 6 weeks later. Ro 31-8220 (or vehicle) is injected subcutaneouslyonce per day at a dosage of 6 mg/kg/d.

*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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
