RKI 1447 suppresses phosphorylation of the ROCK substrates MLC-2 and MYPT-1 in human cancer cells, but has no effect on the phosphorylation levels of the AKT, MEK, and S6 kinase at concentrations as high as 10 μM[1].
RKI 1447 (0.003-10 μM) is potent at inhibiting the phosphorylation of the ROCK substrates MLC-2 and MYPT-1 in human cancer cells[1].
RKI 1447 exhibits effective anticancer activity in colorectal carcinoma (CRC). RKI 1447 (10-320 μM; 24 hours) drastically suppresses HCT-8 and HCT-116 cell growth[2].
RKI 1447 (20-80 μM; 24 hours) induces apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner[2].

RKI-1447 dihydrochloride purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Med Sci Monit. 2020 Feb 6:26:e919220. [Abstract]
The effects of RKI-1447 on glucose tolerance and insulin resistance in a mouse model of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) induced by a high-fat diet. The expression of the insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS1) are shown. The mice were fed with a high-fat diet for 12 weeks. From the ninth week, the mice were treated orally with the ROCK inhibitor RKI-1447 (2 mg/kg to 8 mg/kg) twice weekly for three weeks.

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