The present invention is directed to synthetic cytoskeletal active 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. In one embodiment of the invention, the method treats increased intraocular pressure, such as primary open-angle glaucoma. The method comprises administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a cytoskeletal active compound of Formula I or Formula II, wherein said amount is effective to influence the actomyosin interactions, for example by leading to cellular relaxation and alterations in cell-substratum adhesions.
本发明涉及一种合成的细胞骨架活性化合物,其为rho相关蛋白激酶的抑制剂。本发明还涉及包含此类化合物和药用载体的制药组合物。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病症的方法。在本发明的一个实施例中,该方法治疗增加的眼内压,如原发性开角型青光眼。该方法包括向受体施用公式I或公式II的细胞骨架活性化合物的治疗有效量,其中该量能够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附着的改变。
