Product Description

Y-27632 is a potent and selective inhibitor of ROCK1 (p160ROCK) with IC50 of 140 nM in a cell-free assay, it exhibits >200-fold selectivity over other kinases, including PKC, cAMP-dependent protein kinase, MLCK and PAK. Y27632 prevents dimethylnitrosamine-induced hepatic fibrosis in rats, increases apoptosis and disrupts the actin cortical mat in embryonic avian corneal epithelium, affects initial heart myofibrillogenesis in cultured chick blastoderm, promotes the proliferation and cell cycle progression of cultured astrocyte from spinal cord. Y-27632 suppresses the kinase activity of both ROCK-1 and ROCK-2 in vitro, and this compound inhibits the kinases by binding to the catalytic site of ROCK-1 and ROCK-2. Thus Y-27632 function on Rho-mediated stress fiber formation, the G1-S phase progression and cytokinesis.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Y-27632 exhibits a 100-fold increase in concentration-inhibitory delay in the emergence of BrdU labeling, as well as an extension of the delay duration. In Swiss 3T3 cells treated with 10 and 100 μM Y-27632, respectively, delays of about 1 and 4 hours were noted [1]. Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are encouraged by Y-27632 in the oral cavity of neurons. The 5.0 μM Y-27632 induction group had the greatest number of neural-like cells when compared to the 1.0 and 2.5 μM Y-27632 induction groups [2]. In epithelial cells, actin masks remodel and upregulate cytokines [8].
ln Vivo
In comparison to the saline group, Y-27632 (5 and 10 mg/kg) considerably extended the onset time of myoclonic seizures. When Y-27632 (5 and 10 mg/kg) was administered, the onset of clonic convulsions was significantly delayed in comparison to the saline group [3]. Rats treated with dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) showed a significant reduction in liver weight and body weight (DMN-S group) when compared to the control group (SS group). Rats (DMN-Y group) were essentially shielded from this DMN-induced loss of body and liver weight by oral administration of Y27632 (30 mg/kg) [4].

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*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.

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
