Rhosin
Based on 39 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Rhosin is a potent, specific RhoA subfamily Rho GTPases inhibitor, which specifically binds to RhoA to inhibit RhoA-GEF interaction with a Kd of ~ 0.4 uM, and does not interact with Cdc42 or Rac1, nor the GEF, LARG. Rhosin induces cell apoptosis. Rhosin promotes stress resiliency through enhancing D1-MSN plasticity and reducing hyperexcitability.

Kd: 0.4 uM (RhoA)[1]
Rhosin dose-dependently reduces RhoA and p-MLC1 activities of MCF7 cell-derived mammospheres with an EC50 ~30-50 μM, and causes decreased size and reduced number of mammospheres in MCF7 cells[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Rhosin (30 µM; bilateral, intra- Nucleus Accumbens (NAc) infusions) attenuates stress-induced social avoidance. Rhosin blocks stress-induced hyperexcitability in NAc dopamine 1 receptor medium spiny neurons (D1-MSNs). Rhosin prevents decreased excitatory transmission on NAc D1-MSNs. Rhosin enhances spine density in defeat mice[1].

Animal Model:D1-GFP or D2-GFP hemizygote mice on a C57BL/6J background[3]
-
Dosage:40 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.
-
Result:Rhosin was systemically administered 15 min prior to defeat to block RhoA activation. While defeat significantly reduced the time that experimental mice spent interacting with a novel mouse, Rhosin administration suppressed this effect without affecting locomotor behaviors.
