RX-021
RX-021 is a ROCK1 and ROCK2 inhibitor with IC50 values of 30.01 nM and 34.31 nM, respectively. RX-021 induces reversible morphological changes in human trabecular meshwork cells, maintains the survival of retinal ganglion cells, restores electroretinogram responses, and improves retinal histopathological changes. RX-021 achieves sustained reduction of intraocular pressure in a mouse model of ocular hypertension. RX-021 can be used for the research of glaucoma.

RX-021 (20 μM) shows no cytotoxicity in HTM cells, maintaining a cell viability rate of 99.10% at the concentration of 20 μM[1].
RX-021 (1 μM; 2-24 h) induces reversible contraction of HTM cells at a concentration of 1 μM, with significant contraction observable at 4 h, and cell morphology almost fully recovers within 2 h after removal of the compound[1].
RX-021 (1 μM; 24-48 h) completely inhibits HTM cell-mediated collagen gel contraction for up to 48 h[1].
RX-021 (1 μM; 10-24 h) effectively inhibits TGF-β2-induced migration of HTM cells and reduces the wound closure rate at 10 h and 24 h[1].
RX-021 (1 μM; 1 h) reduces the overall oxygen consumption rate of HTM cells, but does not significantly alter key mitochondrial respiratory parameters, including basal respiration, ATP-coupled respiration, maximal respiratory capacity, spare respiratory capacity, or proton leak[1].

RX-021 (441 μM/5 μL; eye drop; once daily for 28 consecutive days) reduces IOP in a mouse model of long-term microsphere-induced ocular hypertension, with a slightly slower onset but a longer duration of action[1].
