Bioactivity | ROCK-IN-4 is a potent ROCK inhibitor maintaining NO releasing ability. ROCK-IN-4 reversibly depolymerizes F-actin, and suppresses mitochondrial respiration in human trabecular meshwork (HTM) cells. ROCK-IN-4 can be used for glaucoma or ocular hypertension research[1]. |
Invitro | ROCK-IN-4 (RNO-6) (10 μM; 1 h) decreases p-MLC level and induces reversible F-actin depolymerization[1].ROCK-IN-4 (10 μM; 24 h) involves in cGMP activation, increases cGMP concentration in human trabecular meshwork (HTM) cells[1].ROCK-IN-4 (10 μM; 1 h) suppresses mitochondrial respiration by releasing NO and remarkably decreases the basal respiration, maximal respiration, and ATP production[1]. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: |
In Vivo | ROCK-IN-4 (0.26% w/v for 10 μL; o.p. in right eye; single dose) exhibits significant IOP lowering and (0.26% w/v for 10 μL; o.p.; 10 d) exerts visual function and retinal ganglion cell (RGC) protection activities in glaucoma mouse model[1]. ROCK-IN-4 (0.579% w/v for 25 μL; o.p. in left eye; single dose) shows low hyperemic effect and eye irritation in New Zealand White rabbits[1]. Animal Model: |
