SAR407899

SAR407899 is a potent and ATP-competitive ROCK inhibitor, with K_is of 36 nM and 41 nM for human and rat ROCK-2, respectively. SAR407899 inhibits ROCK-2 better than ROCK-1, with IC₅₀s of 102 ± 19 nM and 276 ± 26 nM, respectively, in the presence of 40 μM ATP. SAR407899 also less potently inhibits PKC-Δ and MSK-1, with IC₅₀s of 5.4 and 3.1 μM, respectively. SAR407899 (0.1, 0.3, 1.0, and 3.0 μM) specifically inhibits the ROCK-mediated phosphorylation of MYPT^T696 in HeLa cells stimulated with PHEN, and shows such effects at 1 μM and 10 μM in primary rat aortic smooth muscle cells. SAR407899 (3 μM) completely blocks thrombin-induced shrinkage of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and stress fiber formation. SAR407899 concentration-dependently inhibits 5-bromodeoxyuridine incorporation into the cells with an IC₅₀ of 5.0 ± 1.3 μM. SAR407899 also effectively inhibits THP-1 migration with an IC₅₀ of 2.5 ± 1.0 μM. SAR407899 shows a potent vasorelaxant activity in a broad variety of isolated arteries taken from different vascular beds and species, with a range of IC₅₀ values between 122 and 280 nM^[1]. SAR407899 dose-dependently relaxes the phenylephrine pre-contracted smooth muscle, with IC₅₀s of 0.07 and 0.05 μM, respectively^[2].
