Triazine and pyrimidine based ROCK inhibitors with efficacy in spontaneous hypertensive rat model

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Nov 1;19(21):6027-31. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.09.046. Epub 2009 Sep 17.

Abstract

The profile of a series of triazine and pyrimidine based ROCK inhibitors is described. An initial binding mode was established based on a homology model and the proposed interactions are consistent with the observed SAR. Compounds from the series are potent in a cell migration assay and possess a favorable kinase selectivity. In vivo activity was demonstrated for compound 1A in a spontaneous hypertensive rat model.
