Biological Activity

Ro 31-8220 mesylate is a potent PKC inhibitor, 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 also significantly inhibits MAPKAP-K1b, MSK1, S6K1 and GSK3β

In Vitro

Ro 31-8220 mesylate is a potent PKC inhibitor, with IC50s of 5, 24, 14, 27, 24 and 23 nM for PKCα, PKCβI, PKCβII, PKCγ, PKCε and rat brain PKC, respectively[1]. Ro 31-8220 also significantly inhibits MAPKAP-K1b, MSK1, S6K1 and GSK3β (IC50s, 3, 8, 15, and 38 nM, respectively), with no effect on MKK3, MKK4, MKK6 and MKK7. Moreover, Ro 31-8220 directly suppresses voltage-dependent Na+ channels[2]. Ro 31-8220 (1 μM) is neuroprotective against paraoxon-induced neuronal cell death in cerebellar granule neurons, blocks paraoxon-induced caspase-3 activity, and reduces the paraoxon-induced increase in phospho-PKC pan levels[3].

In Vivo

Ro 31-8220 (6 mg/kg/d, s.c.) is well tolerated, and has half-life of 5.7 hours in mice. Ro 31-8220-treated MLP−/− mice show a dramatic rescue in fractional shortening after treatment for 6 weeks, but the WT mice shows no change[4].
