RO8191
Based on 24 publication(s) in Google Scholar
RO8191 (CDM-3008), an imidazonaphthyridine compound, is an orally active and potent interferon (IFN) receptor agonist. RO8191 directly binds to IFNα/β receptor 2 (IFNAR2) and activates IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) expression and JAK/STAT phosphorylation. RO8191 shows antiviral activity against both HCV and EMCV with an IC50 of 200 nM for HCV replicon. RO8191 is a cccDNA modulator (CDM) through interferon-like activity and has anti-HBV activity.

Biological Activity
|
JAK1 |
RO8191 (CDM-3008) exerts antiviral activity dependent on IFNAR2/JAK1, but is independent of IFNAR1/Tyk2. RO8191, an IFNAR2 agonist, stimulates IFN signals in mice[1].
RO8191 (0.08, 0.4, 2, 10 μM; for 72 h) strongly suppresses HCV replicon activity at 72 h in a dose-dependent manner. RO8191 reduces levels of the proteins HCV NS3 and NS4A, which are localized mainly in the perinuclear region of the replicon cells[1].
RO8191 (0.08-10 μM; for 72 h) results in the disappearance of viral proteins such as NS3, NS4A/B, and NS5A/B[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

ISG-THP1 (WT) or ISG-THP1 (STING KO) cells were treated with cGAMP (0.5 μM), or RO8191 (2.5 μM) with or without various doses of podofilox for 24 h. Normalized values for ISRE luciferase activity induced by cGAMP (or RO8191) along with podofilox are shown in comparison to the activity triggered by DMSO. The results showed that podofilox only showed a tendency to enhance the ISRE-driven immune response when stimulated with RO8191, which is an agonist that directly binds to IFNAR2 and activates the expression of ISGs.
