RKI 1447 suppresses phosphorylation of the ROCK substrates MLC-2 and MYPT-1 in human cancer cells, but has no effect on the phosphorylation levels of the AKT, MEK, and S6 kinase at concentrations as high as 10 μM.
RKI 1447 (0.003-10 μM) is potent at inhibiting the phosphorylation of the ROCK substrates MLC-2 and MYPT-1 in human cancer cells.
RKI 1447 exhibits effective anticancer activity in colorectal carcinoma (CRC). RKI 1447 (10-320 μM; 24 hours) drastically suppresses HCT-8 and HCT-116 cell growth.
RKI 1447 (20-80 μM; 24 hours) induces apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner.
