Ro 31-8220 mesylate
Based on 13 publication(s) in Google Scholar
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 (IC50s, 3, 8, 15, and 38 nM, respectively), with no effect on MKK3, MKK4, MKK6 and MKK7. Ro 31-8220 mesylate can also inhibit the expression of MKP-1, induce the expression of c-Jun, and activate JNK, and these effects possess pharmacological properties independent of PKC.

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].

Protocol
A neurotoxic concentration of paraoxon (200 μM) is added to the granule cell cultures for the indicated time on day in vitro (DIV) 8. The following drugs are added to the granule cell cultures prior to or after paraoxon exposure on DIV 8: Ro-81-3220 (1 μM) is added 15 min prior to or 3 h after the addition of paraoxon. TPA (0.1 μM) is added 15 min prior to the addition of paraoxon[1].

Mice[4]
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 subcutaneously once per day at a dosage of 6 mg/kg/d[4].
