FR900359 is an inhibitor of G proteins Gαq, Gα11, and Gα14 with IC50 values of 13.18, 10.47, and 10nM, respectively and is isolated from the leaves of the ornamental plant Ardisia crenata[1][2]. FR900359 has shown significant therapeutic potential in various disease models, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, asthma and pulmonary arterial hypertension[3][4][5].
In vitro, FR900359 (0.01, 0.1, 1.0 and 10µM) incubated melanoma cell B16 for 72h reduced cell growth in a concentration-dependent manner without causing direct cytotoxicity but by arresting cell cycle in the G1 phase[2]. FR900359 (100nM, 300nM, 1μM) treated uveal melanoma cells for 1-4 days inhibited cancer cell growth by inhibiting Gαq and downregulating proteins involved in cell cycle and cell proliferation[3]. FR900359 (50nM) treated human patelets for 5min abolished platelet aggregation and secretion induced by lower concentration of the agonists as well. FR900359 treatment with higher concentrations (100nM) for 5min is required to cause a complete inhibition when used with murine platelets[4].
In vivo, FR900359 applied intratracheally (0.1mg/ml, 50μl) before each application of house dust mite allergen on mouse model of asthma prevented increase in collagen deposition and airway hyperresponsiveness[5]. FR900359 (2.5µg/mouse) or DMSO was applied to the lung via the intra-tracheal (i.t.) route 1h before hemodynamic measurements in mice with chronic hypoxia(Hx)-induced pulmonary hypertension (PH). FR900359 application reduced elevated basal right ventricular systolic pressure and slightly attenuated basal heart rate in Hx-induced PH mouse model[6].

Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Uveal melanoma cells |
Preparation Method | Uveal melanoma cells were plated on poly-L-lysine coated 96-well white bottom plates at 5 × 103 cells per well and allowed to sit overnight at 37°C and 5% CO2 in a humidified incubator. Cells were then treated with DMSO or 100nM, 300nM or 1μM FR900359 for 1–4 days and harvested by removing the media and lysing the cells with 100μl of cell-grade water for 1h at 37°C. |
Reaction Conditions | 100nM, 300nM or 1μM; 1–4days |
Applications | FR900359 treatment of uveal melanoma cells induced cell growth arrest by inhibiting Gαq and decreasing levels of proteins involved in cell cycle and cell proliferation. FR900359 also induced cancer cell apoptosis. |
Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Female Balb/c mice |
Preparation Method | Female Balb/c mice at 10 weeks of age sensitized with intratracheal application of 1µg of house dust mite (HDM) (in 50µl of PBS) per mouse was performed on day 0. Then, mice were challenged by intratracheal application of 10µg of HDM (in 50µl of PBS) on days 7 to 11. Control mice received 50µl of PBS intratracheally on the respective days. Mice that received HDM were treated with either control solution or FR900359 (0.1mg/ml, 50µl) 4h before each HDM application on day 0 and days 7 to 11. Analysis was done on days 13 and 14. |
Dosage form | 0.1mg/ml, 50µl; i.t.; day 0 and day 7 to 11 |
Applications | FR900359 applied prevented increase in collagen deposition and airway hyperresponsiveness. |
