ROCK2-IN-14 is an orally active, selective ROCK2 inhibitor (IC50=4.8 nM) with 212-fold selectivity over ROCK1 (IC50=1.01 μM). By inhibiting the ROCK2/S100A9 signaling pathway, ROCK2-IN-14 downregulates S100A9 expression, inhibits NM2 phosphorylation and restores cytoskeletal abnormalities. Furthermore, ROCK2-IN-14 reduces inflammatory cytokine levels, alleviates skin inflammation and exerts anti-inflammatory activity. ROCK2-IN-14 also significantly inhibits ear thickening in a mouse model of atopic dermatitis (AD), and decreases the levels of IgE, TNF-α, IL-6 and TSLP. ROCK2-IN-14 has a good safety profile, with a maximum tolerated oral dose exceeding 500 mg/kg. ROCK2-IN-14 can be used for research on atopic dermatitis.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
