Biochem/physiol Actions

Ripasudil (K-115) is a more potent and selective rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor (IC50 = 51 nM/ROCK1, 19 nM/ROCK2, 2.1 μM/PKACα, 27 μM/PKC, and 0.37 μM/CaMKII?) than Y-27632 and HA-1077 (Fasudil). Ripasudil demonstrates in vivo efficacy in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) by stimulating aqueous humour drainage through the trabecular meshwork.

Ripasudil hydrochloride hydrate (K-115), a specific Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor, was the first ophthalmic solution developed for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension in Japan. Topical administration of K-115 decreased intraocular pressure (IOP) and increased outflow

Ripasudil (K-115) is a novel Rho kinase inhibitor with a potent intraocular pressure-lowering effect. However, it is unclear whether ripasudil affects the retinal blood flow (RBF). We investigated the effect of ripasudil on feline retinal microcirculation. Ripasudil (5 μM, 50 μM or

1. We examined the metabolism of ripasudil (K-115), a selective and potent Rho-associated coiled coil-containing protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor, by in vitro and in vivo studies. 2. First, we identified metabolites and metabolic enzymes involved in ripasudil metabolism. Species differences were observed
