Retro-2 is a potent ebolavirus (EBOV) infection inhibitor with an EC50 value of 12.2μM [1]. Retro-2 protects cells against ricin and Shiga toxin by blocking retrograde toxin transport at the early endosomes-TGN interface [2]. Retro-2 has been widely used to inhibit the replication of SARS-CoV-2 and to modify the Golgi structure[3].
In vitro, Retro-2 pretreatment at 20μM for 4 hours protected RAW264.7 cells from death caused by ricin toxin and restored protein synthesis function[4]. After 24 hours of treatment with 10μM Retro-2, the subcellular localization of Syntaxin 5 protein in HeLa cells was altered, and the abundance of Syntaxin 5 localized in the Golgi apparatus was decreased[5]. Treatment with 5μM Retro-2 for 4 hours induced autophagy in HeLa cells expressing GFP-LC3, accompanied by a significant increase in the number of large vesicles[6].
In vivo, Retro-2 (2.5μl; 20μM) was injected into the dentate gyrus of mice at a single dosage for 6 hours increased the generation activity of Aβ42 in the brain tissue of mice[7]. Retro-2 treatment via intraperitoneal injection at a single dose of 200mg/kg protected mice against intoxication by ricin and prolonged the survival of the mice[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | RAW264.7 cells |
Preparation Method | RAW264.7 cells were cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, penicillin (100U/ml), and streptomycin (100μg/ml). The cells were cultured in a humidified environment at 37°C and 5% CO2. RAW264.7 cells were seeded at a density of 1.2×104 cells per well in a 96-well plate, and 100μl of the medium was added to each well. The cells were cultured for 24 hours. At 37°C, different concentrations of Retro-2 (10, 20, 30, and 40μM) were treated for 4h. In the presence of Retro-2 continuously, cells were treated with 200ng/ml ricin toxin. After the treatment, cell viability was detected. |
Reaction Conditions | 10, 20, 30, and 40μM; 4h |
Applications | Retro-2 treatment increased the viability of RAW264.7 cells challenged with ricin toxin in a dose-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Female Balb/c mice |
Preparation Method | Six-week-old specific-pathogen-free (SPF) female Balb/c mice were housed under a 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle and were allowed to freely access standard feed. One hour before intranasal administration of ricin, the mice were grouped. The control group was intraperitoneally injected with 500μl of sterile normal saline (0.9% NaCl), while the experimental group was intraperitoneally injected with a single dose of 200mg/kg Retro-2. The survival rates of the mice were then analyzed. |
Dosage form | 200mg/kg for once; i.p. |
Applications | Retro-2 treatment protected mice against intoxication by ricin and prolonged the survival of the mice. |
