Patent number: 8604205Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2012Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Inspire Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventors: John W. Lampe, Paul S. Watson, David J. Slade, Ward M. Peterson, Christopher S. Crean, Jason L. Vittitow, Jonathan Bryan DeCamp, Nicholas F. Pelz
