H-1152 2Hcl, an isoquinolinesulfonamide derivative, is a more specific, stronger and membrane-permeable inhibitor of Rho-kinase with a Ki value of 1.6 nM, but poor inhibitor of other serine/threonine kinases.IC50 Value: 1.6 nM (Ki Value) [1]Target: ROCKin vitro: H-1152 dose-dependently inhibited the phosphorylation of MARCKS in human neuroteratoma (NT-2) cells stimulated by Rho-activator lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), which was determined by phosphorylation site-specific antibody against phospho-Ser159 in MARCKS, whereas it hardly inhibited the phosphorylation stimulated by phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) [1]. Loss-of-function experiments in endothelial cells revealed that inhibition of ROCK I/II using the pharmacological inhibitor H-1152 and ROCK I/II-specific small-interfering RNAs resulted in a rise of VEGF-driven sprouting angiogenesis [3].in vivo: Cumulative addition of H-1152 (0.001-3 microM) or Y-27632 [0.01-30 microM; (R)-(+)-trans-N-(4-pyridyl)-4-(1-aminoethyl)-cyclohexanecarboxamide] caused sustained relaxations of precontracted CC strips, which were not affected by inhibition of the nitric oxide signaling pathway. Addition of H-1152 (0.1 microM), Y-27632 (1 microM), or sodium nitroprusside (SNP; 0.1 microM) caused rightward shifts in the curves to phenylephrine (PE), but it had little effect on the contractions mediated by electrical field stimulation (EFS) [2]. Topical administration of H-1152 resulted in a significant decrease in IOP from 0.5 to 6 h, with the maximum IOP reduction of 28.1% at 1 h post-treatment (P < 0.001; n = 10). H-1152 caused an expansion of the intercellular spaces and loss of extracellular material in the juxtacanalicular region of the TM in rat eyes [4].
