Cayman Ro 90-7501

Ro 90-7501 is a bi-benzimidazole compound that was first found to retard the formation of mature amyloid β42 fibrils in a cell-based assay. Instead, extended polymeric sheets and fibrillary intermediates of amyloid β42 accumulated in response to Ro 90-7501 treatment, resulting in reduced cytotoxicity (EC₅₀ = 2 µM). More recently, Ro 90-7501 was shown to modulate signaling in cells stimulated with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C), a toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), and RIG-1-like receptor agonist. Ro 90-7501 (10 µM) enhanced poly(I:C)-induced IFN-β expression, decreased NF-κB activation, and amplified the suppression of vesicular stomatitis virus replication by poly(I:C) in HEK293 cells expressing TLR3.
