RI-AG03 acetate
Based on 1 Customer Validation
RI-AG03 acetate is a proteolytically stable tau aggregation inhibitor that crosses the blood-brain barrier and exhibits oral efficacy. RI-AG03 acetate inhibits tau aggregation and promotes the formation of alternative amorphous aggregates that are non-amyloidogenic. RI-AG03 acetate mediates cellular uptake through direct membrane penetration and macropinocytosis, and its conjugation with cell-penetrating peptide sequences (CPPs) enhances the binding of cells to liposomes. RI-AG03 acetate suppresses aggregation-dependent neurodegenerative and behavioral phenotypes, and extends the lifespan of Drosophila models of tauopathy. RI-AG03 acetate can be used for research on tau-related diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.

Biological Activity
Liposomes conjugated with RI-AG03 (75 μM; 4 h) acetate show significantly enhanced binding to SH-SY5Y cells[2].
RI-AG03 (20 µM; 24 h) acetate potently inhibits the aggregation of recombinant 306VQIVYK311, 275VQIINK280, and the mixed 306VQIVYK311 + 275VQIINK280 hexapeptides[3].
RI-AG03 (0.5-200 µM; 24 h) acetate dose-dependently inhibits heparin-induced aggregation of recombinant TauΔ1-250, with an IC50 of 7.83 µM[3].
RI-AG03 (0.5-200 µM; 216 h) acetate inhibits heparin-induced aggregation of recombinant full-length Tau2N4R in a dose-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 5 µM[3].
RI-AG03 (20 µM; 24 h) acetate inhibits the formation of recombinant TauΔ1-250 fibrils and instead promotes the formation of large spherical amorphous aggregates[3].
RI-AG03 (20 µM; 5 h) acetate reduces the conversion of recombinant TauΔ1-250 from a disordered random coil structure to β-sheet-rich aggregates[3].
RI-AG03 (0.5-500 µM; 16 h preincubation, 24 h cell incubation) acetate ose-dependently inhibits the seeding aggregation of preformed Tau2N4R fibrils in HEK-293 Tau biosensor cells, with an IC50 of 23.85 µM, and shows no toxicity at effective doses up to 100 µM[3].

Result:Significantly improved eye size in GMR-hTau2N4R flies compared to untreated controls (40 µM).
Partially rescued the Tau-induced rough-eye phenotype, improving bristle number/morphology and reducing abnormal ommatidia; ommatidial disorganization was significantly reduced (20 µM).
Increased median survival of pan-neuronal hTau2N4R flies from 26 to 35 days (35% improvement; 0.8 µM).
Increased median survival of pan-neuronal hTau2N4R flies from 26 to 33 days (27% improvement; 0.08 µM).
Reduced total Tau aggregates (oligomers and fibrils) by 73% in pan-neuronal hTau2N4R flies; treated flies showed no fibrillar species, only large amorphous structures ~30-50 nm in diameter (0.08 µM).
