Rho Kinase (ROCK) is a serine/threonine kinase whose inhibition could prove beneficial in numerous therapeutic areas. We have developed a promising class of ATP-competitive inhibitors based upon a benzimidazole scaffold, which show excellent potency toward ROCK (IC(50)<10nM). This report details the optimization of selectivity for ROCK over other related kinases such as Protein kinase A (PKA).
Rho 激酶(ROCK)是一种丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶,其抑制作用可能在许多治疗领域有益。我们已经开发了一类有前途的基于苯并咪唑骨架的 ATP 竞争性抑制剂,它们对 ROCK(IC(50)<10nM)表现出优异的效力。本报告详细介绍了对 ROCK 相对于其他相关激酶(如蛋白激酶 A(PKA))的选择性进行优化的情况。
