Description of RR6

RR6 is a potent, selective, reversible, competitive and orally active vanin inhibitor with an IC50 of 540nM for recombinant vanin-1[1]. Vanin is a membrane-bound pantetheinase that hydrolyzes pantetheine to cysteamine and regulates oxidative stress and inflammation[2]. RR6 is usually used in the studies of infection, inflammation and metabolism[3][4].

In vitro, RR6 (100µM; 30min) lowered intracellular Vanin-1 level and raised total GSH level in HepG2 cells[5].

In vivo, RR6 (3mg/mL; drinking water; 8 days) almost completely suppressed plasma vanin activity but did not alter hepatic steatosis, insulin sensitivity or glucose production in ZDF diabetic rats[6]. RR6 (3mg/mL; drinking water; 4 weeks) reduced neointima area and neointima/media ratio, and suppressed neointimal macrophage influx in Dark-Agouti-to-Brown-Norway rat aortic allografts[7].

Protocol of RR6

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

HepG2 cells

Preparation Method

HepG2 cells were cultured in complete Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) supplemented with 4.5g/L glucose, 2mM L-glutamine, 1mM sodium pyruvate, 100U/mL penicillin-streptomycin, and 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO₂ atmosphere. Cells were seed in a six-well plate. After the confluence rate was approximately 70%, 2μg of plasmid DNA (human Vanin-1 gene, cDNA clone expressing plasmid with the OFPSpark tag) and 2.5μL of lipofectamine 2000 were added to the serum-free medium. After 6h of culture, the culture medium was replaced with a complete medium for another 24h. Then cells were treated with or without 100μM RR6 for 30min. After treatments, all of the experimental cells were incubated with Cy-Pa at 37°C for 30min, and imaging was performed by laser scanning confocal microscopy.

Reaction Conditions

100µM; 30 min

Applications

RR6 lowered intracellular Vanin-1 level and raised total GSH level in HepG2 cells.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Male Zucker Diabetic Fatty rats

Preparation Method

Male Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats of 8 weeks old were housed in a temperature (23±1℃) and humidity (50%) controlled animal facility with 12:12h light-dark cycle. Food and water were available ad libitum. Rats were treated with the pantetheinase (vanin) inhibitor RR6 (3mg/mL; dissolved in drinking water) or vehicle for 8 days. Rats were sacrificed at the end of the RR6 treatment (non-fasted; between 9 am and 11am) and blood and organs were collected for further analysis. Each test was repeated three times, and the data was averaged.

Dosage form

3mg/mL; drinking water; 8 days

Applications

RR6 almost completely suppressed plasma vanin activity but did not alter hepatic steatosis, insulin sensitivity or glucose production in ZDF diabetic rats.
