Belumosudil mesylate is a selective ROCK2 inhibitor, with IC50 values of 105nM for ROCK2 and 24µM for ROCK1[1]. ROCK2 is a critical regulator of immune modulation and fibrosis[2].The selective inhibitor of ROCK2 belumosudil mesylate can reduces fibrosis by downregulating both transforming growth factor-β signaling and profibrotic gene expression and usually be utilized in research on chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD)[3][4]. Additionally, belumosudil mesylate can also be used for research in other immune-related diseases such as systemic sclerosisue to its anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic activities[5].
In vitro, treatment of cardiac fibroblasts(CFs) with different concentrations of belumosudil mesylate (0.625, 1.25, 2.5 and 5μM) for 24h after serum starvation for 24h selectively inhibits ROCK2 and reduces the phosphorylation of Smad2 in a dose-dependent manner[6]. Treatment of PASMC cells with belumosudil mesylate ( 40µM; 24h) induces significant down-regulations of Tsp-1 and CTGF mRNA levels[1].
In vivo, belumosudil mesylate(100, 200 or 300mg/kg) was administered every 12h via orogastric gavage for a total of five doses to young adult (C57BL/6, 2–3 months old, male 22–30g, female 16–23g), aged (C57BL/6, 12 months old, 33–52g), or type 2 diabetic mice,it dose-dependently reduces infarct volume after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion,and it is at least as efficacious in aged, diabetic or female mice, as in normal adult males[7].

Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Cardiac fibroblasts(CFs) |
Preparation Method | Tissue culture plastic was used as the experimental platform. Adult CFs were cultured in DMEM containing 10% FBS, 100U/mL penicillin, and 100μg/mL streptomycin with media changed every other day. When nearly confluence, CFs were trypsinized and sub-cultured at 1:3 ratio. CFs were serum-starved for 24h before TGF-β1 treatment (10ng/ml) with or without different concentrations of belumosudil mesylate (0.625, 1.25, 2.5 and 5μM) for 24h. Proteins were extracted for western blot analysis. |
Reaction Conditions | 0.625, 1.25, 2.5 and 5μM; 24h |
Applications | Belumosudil mesylate selectively inhibits ROCK2 and reduces the phosphorylation of Smad2 in a dose-dependent manner. |
Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Young adult (C57BL/6, 2–3 months old, male 22–30g, female 16–23g), aged (C57BL/6, 12 months old, 33–52g), or type 2 diabetic mice (db/db, B6.BKS(D)-Lepr db/J, Jackson Laboratory; 2–3 months old, male, 33–50g) |
Preparation Method | Animals received 100, 200 or 300mg/kg belumosudil mesylate twice a day for a total of five doses via orogastric gavage. fMCAO was induced in mice under isoflurane anesthesia (2.5% induction, 1.2% maintenance, in 70% N2O/30% O2). At 48h after fMCAO, infarct areas were measured on ten 1 mm-thick 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC)-stained coronal sections, integrated to calculate the infarct volume, and corrected for ischemic edema by subtracting the volume of ipsilateral non-infarcted tissue from the contralateral hemisphere. |
Dosage form | 100, 200 or 300 mg/kg; i.g. |
Applications | Belumosudil mesylate dose-dependently reduces infarct volume after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion. |
