Description

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].

IC50 & Target

ROCK2

3 nM (IC50)

In Vitro

Rho-Kinase-IN-2 (0-10 mM, 1 hour) treatment shows an increase in AKT phosphorylation and a decrease in MYPT1 phosphorylation[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: A7r5 and PANC1 cells
Concentration: 0-10 mM
Incubation Time: 1 hour
Result: Showed concentration-dependent effects, leading to an increase in AKT phosphorylation (EC50=28 nM) and a decrease in MYPT1 phosphorylation (IC50=14 nM).
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].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2 mg/mL (5.37 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2 mg/mL (5.37 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
