In Vitro
Ripasudil (K-115) is a potent inhibitor of ROCK, with IC50s of 19 and 51 nM for ROCK2 and ROCK1, respectively. Ripasudil also shows less potent inhibitory activities against CaMKIIα, PKACα and PKC, with IC50s of 370 nM, 2.1 μM and 27 μM, respectively[1]. Ripasudil (K-115; 1, 10 μM) induces cytoskeletal changes, including retraction and cell rounding and reduced actin bundles of cultured trabecular meshwork (TM) cells. Ripasudil (5 μM) sifnificantly reduces transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER), and increases FITC-dextran permeability in Schlemm’s canal endothelial (SCE) cell monolayers[2].

C57 mice were transplanted with luciferase-expressing hepatocytes. The effects of the ROCK inhibitor Ripasudil (17.3 mg/kg, i.p.), nonmuscle myosin II ATPase inhibitor Blebbistatin, β1-integrin agonist Pyrintegrin, and Src kinase inhibitor Dasatinib on hepatocyte liver engraftment were analyzed by bioluminescence imaging on days 3 and 5 after intrasplenic infusion.
