ROCK
Rho-associated protein kinase; Rho-associated kinase; Rho-kinase; ROK
ROCK (Rho-associated protein kinase) is a kinase belonging to the AGC (PKA/ PKG/PKC) family of serine-threonine kinases. ROCKs (ROCK1 and ROCK2) occur in mammals, zebrafish, Xenopus, invertebrates and chicken. Human ROCK1 has a molecular mass of 158 kDa and is a major downstream effector of the small GTPase RhoA. Mammalian ROCK consists of a kinase domain, acoiled-coil region and a Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, which reduces the kinase activity of ROCKs by an autoinhibitory intramolecular fold if RhoA-GTP is not present. ROCK plays a role in a wide range of different cellular phenomena, as ROCK is a downstream effector protein of the small GTPase Rho, which is one of the major regulators of the cytoskeleton.

GSK-25
0 ImagesGSK-25 is a potent, selective and orally bioavailable ROCK1 inhibitor (IC50=7 nM). GSK-25 maintains good selectivity against a panel of 31 kinases (>100 fold), as well as RSK1 and p70S6K (RSK1: IC50=398 nM, p70S6K: IC50=1 μM). GSK-25 inhibits P450 profile (IC50s of 2.5, 5.2, 2.5 µM for CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, respectively).

Sovesudil hydrochloride
0 ImagesSynonyms: PHP-201 hydrochloride; AMA0076 hydrochlorideSovesudil (PHP-201) hydrochloride is a potent, ATP-competitive, locally acting Rho kinase (ROCK) inhibitor with IC50s of 3.7 and 2.3 nM for ROCK-I and ROCK-II, respectively. Sovesudil hydrochloride lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) without inducing hyperemia.
-
RhoA-ROCK-IN-1
0 ImagesRhoA-ROCK-IN-1 (Compound b19) is an inhibitor of RhoA/ROCK. RhoA-ROCK-IN-1 can significantly inhibit cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, while promoting cell apoptosis. RhoA-ROCK-IN-1 demonstrates remarkable anticancer activity by inhibiting the RhoA/ROCK pathway.

NRL-1049 dihydrochloride
0 ImagesSynonyms: BA-1049NRL-1049 dihydrochloride (BA-1049) is a selective and orally active rho-associated protein kinase 2 (ROCK2) inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.59 μM. NRL-1049 dihydrochloride shows selectivity for ROCK2 is 44 times that of ROCK1 (IC50 = 26 μM). NRL-1049 dihydrochloride can preserve the blood-brain barrier after acute injury.

Glycyl H-1152 hydrochloride
0 ImagesGlycyl H-1152 hydrochloride (compound 18) is a glycyl derivative of Rho-kinase inhibitors H-1152 dihydrochloride. Glycyl H-1152 hydrochloride inhibits ROCKII, Aurora A, CAMKII and PKG, with IC50s of 0.0118, 2.35, 2.57 and 3.26 μM respectively. Glycyl H-1152 hydrochloride has higher selective than H-1152 hydrochloride.
