Biological Activity

Description RU.521 (RU320521) is an active, potent and selective inhibitor of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) that inhibits the cGAS-mediated signaling with IC50 of 700 nM. RU.521 binds to the cGAS/dsDNA complex with Kd of 36.2 nM.
Targets
cGAS/dsDNA complex [1]
(Cell-free assay)		 cGAS [1]
(Cell-free assay)
36.2 nM(Kd) 700 nM
In vitro

RU.521, a cGAS inhibitor, impares the overexpression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) in response to cytolethal distending toxin (CDT), confirming the crucial role of cGAS-STING axis in CDT-induced type I IFN signaling.[2]
In vivo

RU.521 alleviated the inflammatory response and alleviated the damage induced by oxidative stress, leading to cardiac protection via increased Sirt3 expression in the hearts of mice with sepsis.

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:

[2]
  • Cell lines

    Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEFs)

  • Concentrations

    1 μM

  • Incubation Time

    3, 7, 40 days

  • Method

    MEFs are exposed with or without STINGi or cGASi to CDT 7.5 ng/ml for the indicated times or to the H153A CDT mutant for 40 days. The mRNA level of the indicated genes is analyzed by RT-qPCR and the IL-6 or TNFα production in the culture supernatant are determined by ELISA. For ELISA assays, a 2 days exposure to LPS 100 ng/ml is used as positive control.
Animal Study:

[3]
  • Animal Models

    Mice

  • Dosages

    5 mg/kg

  • Administration

    i.p.
