Biological Activity for RO 8191

RO 8191 is an IFNα receptor 2 (IFNAR2) agonist (EC50 = 0.2 μM). RO 8191 induces phosphorylation and activation of STAT1 and STAT2. RO 8191 inhibits hepatitis C (HCV) cell culture-produced infectious particles and HCV subgenomic replicon (IC50 values 0.20 μM and 0.17 μM, respectively) and inhibits hepatitis B virus replication in cell cultures (IC50 = 0.1 μM). In an animal model RO 8191 inhibits prion invasion and prolongs survival; it also reverses the inhibitory effect of integrin β6 (ITGB6) on the JAK/STAT3 signaling and the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition pathway and inhibits the proliferation, invasion, and migration of cervical cancer cells. Orally bioavailable.

Pain Poster

Pain Poster

Peripheral sensitization is the reduction in the threshold of excitability of sensory neurons that results in an augmented response to a given external stimulus. This poster outlines the excitatory and inhibitory signaling pathways involved in modulation of peripheral sensitization. The role of ion channels, GPCRs, neurotrophins, and cytokines in sensory neurons are also described.
