Product Description

Ro 48-8071 fumarate is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of OSC (Oxidosqualene cyclase) with IC50 of ~6.5 nM. OSC represents a new and unique target for cholesterol-lowering drugs. In addition, Ro 48-8071 has shown anticancer activity, at 10 μM, it significantly reduces the viability of PC-3 prostate cancer cells, but not normal prostate cells. Ro 48-8071 (10-30 μM) induces apoptosis of both LNCaP and C4-2 cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. And castration-resistant PC-3 and DU145 cells also demonstrate significant levels of apoptosis following 24-hour treatment with Ro 48-8071.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
With an IC50 value of roughly 1.5 nM, Ro 48 -8071 decreases cholesterol synthesis in HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner [1]. The viability of PC-3 prostate cancer cells is significantly reduced by Ro 48 -8071 (10 μM), but not of normal prostate cells. In LNCaP and C4-2 cell lines, Ro 48 -8071 (10-30 μM) causes apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Significant levels of apoptosis were also seen in castration-resistant PC-3 and DU145 cells 24 hours after they were treated with Ro 48–8071. The reduction of AR protein expression is dose-dependent and occurs with Ro 48 -8071 (10-25 μM). In castration-resistant PC-3 cells and hormone-dependent LNCaP, Ro 48 -8071 (0.1-1 μM) dose-dependently upregulates the expression of the ERβ protein [2]. Mammalian cells engineered to express human ERα or ERβ proteins in combination with the ER-responsive luciferase promoter, enables Ro 48-8071 to dose-dependently inhibit 17β-estradiol (E2)-induced ERα-responsive luciferase. Activity (IC50, approximately 10 μM), in a cell-nontoxic environment [3].
ln Vivo
In hamsters, Ro 48 -8071 decreases LDL-C by approximately 60% at 150 μmol/kg per day and stops at 300 μmol/kg per day; HDL-C does not change at any dose. The amount of MOS in hamster liver increases at Ro 48 -8071 (≥00 μMol/kg per day). In hamsters, Ro 48 -8071 (300 μmol/kg daily) dramatically lowers VLDL secretion [1]. Without causing weight loss, Ro 48 -8071 (5 or 20 mg/kg) dramatically slowed the growth of tumors in mice. Furthermore, two of the twelve tumors observed in mice during the test period were totally eradicated by Ro 48-8071 at a dosage of 20 mg/kg [2]. In the entire small intestine of BALB/c mice, Ro 48-8071 (20 mg/day/kg body weight) rapidly and persistently inhibits (>50%) the synthesis of cholesterol. Additionally, the stomach and large intestine produce less cholesterol [4].

*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
