The present invention is directed to synthetic bridged bicyclic compounds that are inhibitors of rho-associated protein kinase. The present invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The invention is additionally directed to a method of preventing or treating diseases or conditions associated with cytoskeletal reorganization. The method comprises administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a Rho kinase inhibitory compound of Formula I, wherein said amount is effective to influence the actomyosin interactions, for example, by leading to cellular relaxation and alterations in cell-substratum adhesions. In one embodiment, the method treats increased intraocular pressure, such as primary open-angle glaucoma. In another embodiment, the method treats diseases or conditions of the lung associated with excessive cell proliferation, remodeling, inflammation, vasoconstriction, bronchoconstriction, airway hyperreactivity and edema.
本发明涉及合成的桥接
双环化合物,其为rho相关蛋白激酶的
抑制剂。本发明还涉及包含这样的化合物和药学上可接受的载体的制药组合物。此外,本发明还涉及一种预防或治疗与细胞骨架
重组相关的疾病或症状的方法。该方法包括向受试者施用公式I的Rho激酶
抑制剂的治疗有效量,其中该量有效地影响肌动蛋白相互作用,例如通过导致细胞松弛和细胞基质黏附的改变。在一种实施方式中,该方法治疗增加的眼压,如原发性开角型青光眼。在另一种实施方式中,该方法治疗与细胞增殖过度、重塑、炎症、血管收缩、支气管收缩、气道高反应性和
水肿相关的肺部疾病或症状。
