Bioactivity | Belumosudil mesylate (KD025 mesylate) is a selective inhibitor of ROCK2 with IC50s of 105 nM and 24 µM for ROCK2 and ROCK1, respectively. Anti-fibrotic properties[1]. |
Invitro | Belumosudil (SLx-2119; 40 µM) induces significant down-regulations of Tsp-1 and CTGF mRNA levels in PASMC. The microarray hybridized with aRNA from HMVEC treated with Belumosudil, shows a 5-times higher background than the other arrays[1]. |
In Vivo | Belumosudil (KD-025; 100, 200 or 300 mg/kg, i.p.) dose-dependently reduces infarct volume after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion. Belumosudil is at least as efficacious in aged, diabetic or female mice, as in normal adult males[2]. |
