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.
本发明涉及一种合成的桥接
双环化合物,它们是rho相关蛋白激酶的
抑制剂。本发明还涉及包含这种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。该方法包括向受试者施用一种公式I的Rho激酶抑制化合物的治疗有效量,其中该量对影响肌动蛋白相互作用有效,例如通过导致细胞松弛和细胞-基质附着的变化。在一种实施方式中,该方法治疗增加的眼压,例如原发性开角型青光眼。在另一种实施方式中,该方法治疗与过度细胞增殖、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病症。
