Rotigaptide (ZP123) is a novel and specific modulator of connexin 43 (Cx43). Rotigaptide prevents the uncoupling of Cx43-mediated gap junction communication and normalizes cell-to-cell communication during acute metabolic stress. Rotigaptide is a potent antiarrhythmic peptide (AAP) with improved stability and has the potential for the investigation of cardiac arrhythmias-specifically atrial fibrillation[1][2].

| In Vitro | Rotigaptide (100 nM; 24 hours) has a positive effect on cycloheximide-mediated decrease in Cx43 protein levels in cultured neonatal ventricular myocytes[1]. Rotigaptide (100 nM; 24 hours) dose not affect INS-1 cell apoptosis itself. And it significantly reduces apoptosis in cytokine-exposed cells ~10% at IL-1b concentrations above 15 pg/ml in rat insulin-producing INS-1 cells[2]. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: Neonatal cardiomyocytes Concentration: 100 nM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: Partially prevented the loss of Cx43 protein expression in neonatal cardiomyocytes. Apoptosis Analysis[2] Cell Line: Cx43 deficient INS-1 cells Concentration: 100 nM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: Ameliorated cytokine-induced apoptosis associated with improved mitochondrial function. |
| In Vivo | Rotigaptide (intravenous administration; 300 mg/kg; single dose) treatment in mice and rats does not result in toxicity in either species. In escalating dose studies, Rotigaptide (continuous intravenous infusion; 5-14 days) in rats (100 mg/kg) and dogs (10 mg/kg) are well tolerated and produces no compound-related effects or histological toxicological findings[3]. |
