Description

ROCK2-IN-17 is an orally active and selective ROCK2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 8.1 nM. ROCK2-IN-17 achieves its antifibrotic effect by inhibiting the TGF-β/Smad and ROCK2/STAT3 signaling pathways. ROCK2-IN-17 can be used for pulmonary fibrosis research[1].

In Vitro

ROCK2-IN-17 (Compound 39) exhibits an IC50 of 1.4 μM against ROCK1, a ROCK1/ROCK2 selectivity index of 200, and demonstrates ROCK2 selectivity in a screen of 81 kinases at a concentration of 1 μM[1].
ROCK2-IN-17 (2.5-10 μM; 48 h) suppresses TGF-β1-induced fibroblast activation in NIH-3T3 and MRC-5 cells[1].
ROCK2-IN-17 (5 μM; 24 h) inhibits TGF-β1-induced NIH-3T3 fibroblast migration in wound healing and transwell migration assays[1].
ROCK2-IN-17 (0-10 μM) dose-dependently reduces p-STAT3, p-Smad2/3 and α-SMA expression in TGF-β1-stimulated NIH-3T3 and MRC-5 fibroblasts, indicating inhibition of the ROCK2/STAT3 and TGF-β/Smad signaling pathways [1].
ROCK2-IN-17 (0.37-30 μM) shows weak inhibitory activity against hERG channels in automated patch-clamp assays, inhibiting them by only 11.4% at a concentration of 30 μM, with an hERG IC50 > 30 μM[1].

Cell Viability Assay

Cell Line: NIH-3T3
Concentration: 2.5, 5, 10 μM
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Suppressed TGF-β1-induced fibroblast activation in a dose-dependent manner.
Reduced the TGF-β1-induced increase in NIH-3T3 cell viability, indicating antifibrotic activity in fibroblasts.

Cell Viability Assay

Cell Line: MRC-5
Concentration: 2.5, 5, 10 μM
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Suppressed TGF-β1-induced fibroblast activation in a dose-dependent manner.
Reduced the TGF-β1-induced increase in MRC-5 cell viability, supporting its antifibrotic effect in human lung fibroblasts.

Cell Migration Assay

Cell Line: NIH-3T3
Concentration: 5 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Reduced TGF-β1-induced wound closure in NIH-3T3 cells.
TGF-β1 increased the wound closure rate from 25.7% to 51.7%, while compound administration effectively attenuated this migration-promoting effect.
Reduced the number of TGF-β1-induced migrating NIH-3T3 cells in the transwell assay, confirming inhibition of fibroblast migration.

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.
