Patent number: 8835457Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2013Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.Inventors: John W. Lampe, Paul S. Watson, David J. Slade
