Zelasudil is a Rho-associated coiled-coil kinase (ROCK) inhibitor with a specific binding affinity for ROCK2, a key enzyme in the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway. This pathway plays a critical role in regulating cellular processes such as cytoskeletal organization, cell motility, smooth muscle contraction, and gene expression. By selectively inhibiting ROCK2, Zelasudil modulates these processes, offering therapeutic potential for a variety of diseases characterized by fibrosis, inflammation, and vascular dysfunction, including pulmonary fibrosis, glaucoma, and cardiovascular diseases.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
