lx7101

LX7101 is an effective inhibitor of LIMK and ROCK2 (IC50: 24, 1.6, and 10 nM for LIMK1, LIMK2, and ROCK2, respectively). It also inhibits PKA (IC50 <1 nM).

LX7101 is a potent inhibitor of both LIM kinase (LIMK) 1 and 2, and Rho-associated kinase 1 (ROCK1) and ROCK2, with IC50 values of 32, 4.3, 69, and 32 nM, respectively. It is selective, demonstrated by its lack of cross-reactivity in a panel of binding assays involving 78 receptors, transporters, and an additional 430 kinases, at a concentration of 10 μM. The topical administration of LX7101 (3 μl of a 1 mg ml solution) to the eye has been shown to reduce intraocular pressure in a dexamethasone-induced mouse model of glaucoma.

LX-7101 hydrochloride is a potent LIMK and ROCK2 inhibitor with antihypertensive activity, inhibits LIMK1 2, ROCK, PKA, and can be used to study glaucoma.
