Bioactivity | Rho-Kinase-IN-2 (Compound 23) is an orally active, selective, and central nervous system (CNS)-penetrant Rho Kinase (ROCK) inhibitor (ROCK2 IC50=3 nM). Rho-Kinase-IN-2 can be used in Huntington’s research[1]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Rho-Kinase-IN-2 (0-10 mM, 1 hour) treatment shows an increase in AKT phosphorylation and a decrease in MYPT1 phosphorylation[1]. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | Rho-Kinase-IN-2 (oral adiministration; 10 mg/kg; 6 times; 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 h) treatment shows dose- and time-dependent ROCK1 and ROCK2 target engagement[1].Rho-Kinase-IN-2 (oral adiministration; 10 or 20 mg/kg; QD or BID; 2 weeks) treatment shows excellent tolerability assessment[1].Rho-Kinase-IN-2 (oral adiministration; 1-20 mg/kg; once) treatment shows a direct dose- and time-dependent relationship between brain exposure and MYPT1 phosphorylation status[1].Rho-Kinase-IN-2 (oral adiministration; 10 or 20 mg/kg; once) treatment decreases in the mean arterial, systolic, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate[1].Rho-Kinase-IN-2 (oral adiministration; 10 mg/kg; twice a day; 90 days) treatment leads to lower-than-expected brain concentrations[1].
