Product Description
Halofuginone (RU-19110) hydrobromid, a derivative of Febrifugine, is a competitive prolyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitor with a Ki of 18.3 nM. Halofuginone hydrobromid is a specific inhibitor of type-I collagen synthesis and can alleviate osteoarthritis by inhibiting TGF-β activity. Halofuginone hydrobromid is also a potent pulmonary vasodilator that activates Kv channels and blocks voltage-gated, receptor-operated, and store-operated Ca2+ channels. Halofuginone hydrobromid has antimalarial, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-fibrotic effects.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Ki: 18.3±0.5 nM (prolyl-tRNA synthetase)[2]
ln Vitro
Halofuginone hydrobromid competitively inhibits prolyl-tRNA synthetase by occupying the proline and tRNA binding pockets of prolyl-tRNA synthetase[1]. The IC 50 values of Halofuginone hydrobromid (1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000 nM; 48 h) in KYSE70 and A549 cells were 1.6 and 58.9 nM, respectively[1]. In KYSE70 and A549 cells, the IC 50 values of Halofuginone hydrobromid (1, 10, 100, 1000 nM; 24 h) against NRF2 protein were 22.3 and 37.2 nM, respectively. In KYSE70 and A549 cells, the IC50 values of Halofuginone hydrobromid against global protein synthesis were 22.6 and 45.7 nM, respectively[1]. Halofuginone hydrobromid increases voltage-gated K+ (Kv) current in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and K+ current through KCNA5 channels in HEK cells transfected with KCNA5 gene. Halofuginone hydrobromid (0.03-1μM) inhibits receptor-operated Ca2+ entry (ROCE) in HEK cells transfected with calcium-sensing receptor gene and attenuates store-operated (SOCE) Ca2+ entry in PASMCs[5].
ln Vivo
Halofuginone hydrobromid (0.2, 0.5, 1 or 2.5 mg/kg; injected intraperitoneally every other day for 1 month) attenuates OA progression in mice with anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT). Lower concentrations (0.2 or 0.5 mg/kg) had minimal effects on subchondral bone, while higher concentrations (2.5 mg/kg) resulted in proteoglycan loss in articular cartilage[3]. Halofuginone hydrobromid (0.25 mg/kg; intraperitoneally injected; every day; 16 days) reduced NRF2 protein levels in tumors. Although there was no significant change in tumor volume between treatments with vehicle, halofuginone hydrobromid (0.25 mg/kg, intraperitoneally injected, every day) or cisplatin alone, the combination of halofuginone hydrobromid and cisplatin significantly inhibited tumor volume compared with treatment with halofuginone hydrobromid or cisplatin alone[1]. Intraperitoneal injection of Halofuginone (0.3 mg/kg, for 2 weeks) can partially reverse established pulmonary hypertension in mice[5].

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
