ROCK2-IN-13

ROCK2-IN-13 is a selective inhibitor of ROCK2. It functions by hindering ROCK2 kinase activity and reducing its nuclear expression, consequently disrupting the interaction between ROCK2 and transcription co-activators p300 and PGC 1α, thereby suppressing oncogene transcription. ROCK2-IN-13 activates FOXO1-driven PTEN expression, which in turn inhibits the PI3K/Akt pathway, induces G2/M cell cycle arrest, and promotes apoptosis (apoptosis) . This compound effectively eliminates the nuclear transcription function of ROCK2 that maintains oncogenic signaling and restores the tumor-suppressive PTEN/FOXO1 axis. ROCK2-IN-13 is utilized in prostate cancer research.
