Description

Ro 61-8048 is an orally active and selective inhibitor of kynurenine 3-hydroxylase, with an IC50 of 37 nM. Ro 61-8048 provokes a significant increase of extracellular kynurenic acid concentrations[1].

In Vitro

In gerbils, a dose of 30 µmol/kg po (12.64 µg/kg Ro 61-8048, compound 16) leads to inhibition of the cerebral enzyme which peaked after 2h (∼85% inhibition) and persisted for up to 8 h[1].
Ro 61-8048 (0.1-100 μM) strongly reduces QUIN neo-formation, suggesting that, in vitro, kynurenine hydroxylase activity is required for QUIN neosynthesis[3].

In Vivo

Ro 61-8048 (50, 100 and 150 mg/kg i.p.) significantly reduces the severity of dystonia in dtsz hamsters without leading to marked central side effects[2].
Ro 61-8048 (100 mg/kg i.p.) provokes a two- to threefold increase of the endogeneous broad spectrum glutamate receptor antagonist kynurenic acid in the striatum, cerebellum and brainstem of mutant hamsters[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Male and female dtsz mutant Syrian golden hamsters[2].
Dosage: 50, 100 and 150 mg/kg.
Administration: I.P., one dose.
Result: Significantly reduced the individual maximum severity of dystonia reached at the end of the observation period of 3 h at doses of 50, 100 and 150 mg/kg i.p..
100 and 150 mg/kg significantly decreased the severity, indicating a fast onset of action. A delayed onset of dystonic attacks was observed after treatment with 150 mg/kg but not after administration of 50 and 100 mg/kg.
At lower doses of 10 and 25 mg/kg, the compound failed to exert any antidystonic effects.
Caused a moderate sedation and hypolocomotion 5 to 70 min after administration of 100 and 150 mg/kg, while no central adverse effects were observable at a dose of 50 mg/kg or lower doses.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.93 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (5.93 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  50% PEG300    50% Saline

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
