| Targets |
ROCK-IN-1 targets Rho-associated protein kinase 2 (ROCK2), a serine/threonine kinase that is a downstream effector of the small GTPase RhoA. ROCK2 is involved in various cellular processes including cytoskeletal dynamics, cell contraction, migration, and proliferation. By inhibiting ROCK2 activity, ROCK-IN-1 modulates these processes, making it useful for studying ROCK-mediated signaling.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
ROCK-IN-1 has an EC50 of 200 nM, indicating significant cellular efficacy[1].
In vitro, ROCK-IN-1 potently inhibits ROCK2 with an IC₅₀ of 1.2 nM. It shows potent cellular efficacy with an EC₅₀ of 200 nM. The compound's activity is assessed using kinase inhibition assays with purified ROCK2 enzyme and cell-based assays measuring ROCK-mediated cellular responses such as stress fiber formation and cell contraction. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity data for ROCK-IN-1 are limited in the published literature. As a potent ROCK2 inhibitor, it has potential applications in studying neurological disorders and inflammation-related diseases. Further in vivo studies are needed to evaluate its efficacy and safety in animal models of these conditions.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro kinase inhibition assays for ROCK-IN-1 are performed using purified ROCK2 enzyme. The kinase is incubated with a peptide substrate and ATP in the presence of increasing concentrations of the compound. The extent of phosphorylation is measured using radiometric, fluorometric, or ELISA-based methods, and the IC₅₀ (1.2 nM) is calculated from the inhibition curve.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for ROCK-IN-1 are performed using cell lines such as fibroblasts or vascular smooth muscle cells. Cells are treated with the compound, and ROCK-mediated cellular responses are assessed. Stress fiber formation is evaluated by phalloidin staining of F-actin. Cell contraction is measured using collagen gel contraction assays. The EC₅₀ (200 nM) is calculated from concentration-response curves.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments for ROCK-IN-1 are not extensively documented. As a potential therapeutic for neurological and inflammatory diseases, in vivo studies would typically involve administration to animal models of these conditions. The compound would be administered via appropriate routes, and efficacy would be assessed by measuring disease severity, behavioral outcomes, and biochemical markers.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
