Girolline
Girolline (RP 49532) is a protein synthesis inhibitor and a functional modulator of eIF5A. Girolline induces ribosome stalling by interfering with the binding of eIF5A to ribosomes. Girolline also inhibits the production of IL-6 and IL-8, and induces cell cycle arrest in tumor cells. Girolline is applicable to research related to inflammatory diseases, solid tumors, leukemia and malaria.

Girolline (0.08-40000 ng/mL; 4.5 h) inhibits flagellin-induced TLR5 NF-κB luciferase reporter gene activity in CHO-K1-TLR5 cells[1].
Girolline (2 μg/mL; 7 h) potently inhibits flagellin-induced IL-8 secretion and NF-κB/AP-1 activity in THP1-derived macrophages[1].
Girolline (2 μg/mL; 7 h) blocks flagellin-induced secretion of IL-6 and IL-8 in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)[1].
Girolline (8-5000 ng/mL; 7 h) dose-dependently inhibits NF-κB/AP-1 activity induced by various TLRs, IL-1β and TNF-α in HEK293 reporter cells, with significant inhibition observed at concentrations ≥200 ng/mL[1].
Girolline (50 μM; 24 h) induces G2/M cell cycle arrest in FL, HeLa and A549 tumor cell lines, with the most pronounced effect observed in FL cells[2].
Girolline (5-50 μM; 24 h) induces concentration-dependent accumulation of polyubiquitinated p53 in FL cells[2].
Girolline (0.1-1.0 μM; 1-4 days) induces dose- and time-dependent G2 phase arrest in human 293 cells, with the most prominent accumulation of G2/M phase cells observed at 1.0 μM for 48 h, while prolonged treatment leads to increased apoptotic cell death[3].
Girolline (10-300 μM; 1 h) dose-dependently inhibits the interaction between hypusinated eIF5A and ribosomes in HEK293T cells[4].
Girolline (1-5 μM; 16 h) selectively inhibits the translation of sequences containing AAA-encoded Lys (but not AAG-encoded Lys) in HEK293T cells, with longer AAA sequences correlating with stronger inhibitory effects[4].

Cell Line:human 293 cells
-
Concentration:0.1 μM, 0.5 μM, 1.0 μM; 1 μM
-
Incubation Time:1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days

Result:Increased the percentage of cells in G2/M phase from 7.8% to 32.1% and decreased G0/G1 phase cells from 49.5% to 24.5% at 1.0 μM for 48 h, with S phase percentage unchanged.
Resulted in 27.1% of cells in G2/M phase at 1 μM for 2 days; this percentage decreased to 18.1% and 13.1% after 3 and 4 days, respectively.
Increased the pre-G0/G1 apoptotic cell population from 1.9% at day 1 to 18.1% at day 4 with 1 μM treatment.
