Applications

cGAS inhibitor

Functions

Inhibitor of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), an important innate immune system sensor of foreign cytoplasmic double-stranded DNA. IC50 = 0.70 µM in dsDNA-stimulated RAW macrophages and ~0.80 µM in wild type human THP-1 cells. It is selective for cGAS with no targeting of IFNB1 protein, interferon receptors, or downstream signaling components of the JAK/STAT pathway. RU.521 was able to significantly increase cardiac output in a mouse model of sepsis. Active in both mouse and human cell lines.

Application Procedures

First dissolved in DMSO (25 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO may be stored at -20°C for up to 2 months.

Research use only.
