RWJ-56110

RWJ-56110 is a potent, selective, peptide-mimetic inhibitor of PAR-1 activation and internalization (binding IC₅₀=0.44 uM) and shows no effect on PAR-2, PAR-3, or PAR-4. RWJ-56110 inhibits the aggregation of human platelets induced by?both?SFLLRN-NH2?(IC₅₀=0.16 μM) and thrombin (IC₅₀=0.34 μM), quite selective?relative to U46619 (HY-108566). RWJ-56110 inhibits angiogenesis and blocks the formation of new vessels in vivo. RWJ-56110 induces cell apoptosis^[1][2]. IC50 & Target: IC50: 0.44 uM (PAR-1)
IC50: 0.16 μM (the aggregation of human platelets induced by SFLLRN-NH2)
IC50: 0.34 μM (the aggregation of human platelets induced by thrombin)^[1][2] In Vitro: Proteinase-activated receptors (PARs) are a family of G protein-coupled receptors activated by the proteolytic cleavage of their N-terminal extracellular domain, exposing a new amino terminal sequence that functions as a tethered ligand to activate the receptors.
RWJ56110 inhibits the aggregation of human platelets induced by?both?SFLLRN-NH2?(IC₅₀=0.16 μM) and thrombin (IC₅₀=0.34 μM) while being?quite selective?relative to collagen and the thromboxane mimetic U46619 (HY-108566)^[1].
RWJ-56110 is fully inhibits thrombin-induced RASMC proliferation with an IC₅₀ value of 3.5 μM. RWJ-56110 shows blockade of thrombin’s action with RASMC calcium mobilization (IC₅₀=0.12 μM), as well as with HMVEC (IC₅₀=0.13 μM) and HASMC calcium mobilization (IC₅₀=0.17 μM)^[1].
RWJ56110 (0.1-10 μM; 24-96 hours) inhibits endothelial cell growth dose-dependently, with half-maximal inhibitory concentration of RWJ56110 is approximately 10 μM^[2].
RWJ56110 (0.1-10 μM; 6 hours) inhibits DNA synthesis of endothelial cells in a thymidine incorporation assays. Endothelial cells are in fast-growing state (50-60% confluence), RWJ56110 inhibits cell DNA synthesis in a dose-dependent manner, but when cells that are in the quiescent state (100% confluent), the inhibitory effect of PAR-1 antagonists is much less pronounced^[2].
RWJ56110 (0.1-10 μM; pretreatment for 15 min) inhibits thrombin-induced Erk1/2 activation in a concentration-dependent manner. However, when endothelial cells are stimulated by FBS (final concentration 4%), it reduces partially the activated levels of Erk1/2^[2].
RWJ56110 (30 μM; 24 hours) has an inhibitory effect on endothelial cell cycle progression. It reduces the percentage of cells in the S phase, while alterations in the percentages of G1 and G2/M cells are less pronounced^[2].
