Chroman 1 is a highly potent and selective ROCK inhibitor. Chroman 1 is more potent against ROCK2 ( IC 50 =1 pM) than ROCK1 ( IC 50 =52 pM). Chroman 1 also has inhibitory activity against MRCK , with an IC 50 of 150 nM
In Vitro
Chroman 1 (50 nM, 24 h) inhibits caspase-3/7 activation and reduces apoptosis in human pluripotent stem cells. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. Apoptosis AnalysisCell Line: hESCs (human pluripotent stem cells) (WA09) Concentration: 50 nM Incubation Time: 0-12 h or 24 h Result: Reduced the number of apoptotic cells, reduced caspase-3/7 activation. Western Blot AnalysisCell Line: hESCs (human pluripotent stem cells) (WA09) Concentration: 50 nM Incubation Time: 24 h Result: Partially inhibited caspase-3 activation.
