Product Description
Ro 48-8071 is an Oxidosqualene cyclase inhibitor (antagonist) with IC50 of about 6.5 nM.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In HepG2 cells, Ro 48-8071 dose-dependently decreases cholesterol production with an IC50 value of around 1.5 nM [1]. Ro 48-8071 (10 μM) dramatically lowers the viability of PC-3 prostate cancer cells but not of normal prostate cells. Ro 48-8071 (10-30 μM) causes apoptosis in LNCaP and C4-2 cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. Castration-resistant PC-3 and DU145 cells also demonstrated considerable levels of apoptosis following 24 hours of treatment with Ro 48-8071. Ro 48-8071 (10-25 μM) decreases AR protein expression in a dose-dependent manner. Ro 48-8071 (0.1-1 μM) stimulates ERβ protein expression in a dose-dependent manner in hormone-dependent LNCaP and castration-resistant PC-3 cells [2]. Using mammalian cells designed to express human ERα or ERβ proteins, coupled with the ER-responsive luciferase promoter, Ro 48-8071 dose-dependently suppresses 17β-estradiol (E2)-induced ERα-responsive luciferase activity (IC50, around 10 µM), lower than non-toxic circumstances for cells [3].
ln Vivo
In hamsters, Ro 48-8071 decreased HDL-C at all doses but decreased LDL-C by about 60% at 150 μmol/kg per day and up to 300 μmol/kg per day. The amount of MOS in hamster liver is increased by Ro 48-8071 (≥00 μmol/kg daily). 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. Additionally, two of the twelve tumors that were observed in mice during the testing 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 sustainably inhibits cholesterol synthesis (>50%). Additionally, the stomach and large intestine produce less cholesterol [4].

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

 (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.

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
