ROCK1 and ROCK2 are highly homologous isoforms. Accumulated studies indicate that they have distinct different functions, and the development of isoform selective ROCK inhibitors will pave new roads for the treatment of various diseases. In this work, a series of amide-chroman derivatives were synthesized and biologically evaluated in order to develop potent and isoform selective ROCK2 inhibitors. Remarkably, (S)-6-methoxy-chroman-3-carboxylic acid (4-pyridin-4-yl-phenyl)-amide ((S)-7c) possessed ROCK2 inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 3 nM and 22.7-fold isoform selectivity (vs. ROCK1). Molecular docking indicated that hydrophobic interactions were the key element for the high potency and isoform selectivity of (S)-7c. The binding free energies predicted by MM/GBSA were in good agreement with the experimental bioactivities, and the analysis of individual energy terms suggested that residue Lys105 in ROCK1 or Lys121 in ROCK2 was the key residue for the isoform selectivity of (S)-7c.

Rho Kinase (ROCK) is a serine/threonine kinase whose inhibition could prove beneficial in numerous therapeutic areas. We have developed a promising class of ATP-competitive inhibitors based upon a benzimidazole scaffold, which show excellent potency toward ROCK (IC50 10 nM). This report details the optimization of selectivity for ROCK over other related kinases such as Protein kinase A (PKA).

Inhibition of Rho kinase (ROCK) is an attractive strategy for the treatment of diseases such as hypertension, glaucoma, and cancer. Here we report chroman-3-amides as highly potent ROCK inhibitors with sufficient kinase selectivity, excellent cell activit
