Chroman 1 dihydrochloride is a highly potent and selective ROCK inhibitor, demonstrating greater potency against ROCK2 (IC50=1 pM) compared to ROCK1 (IC50=52 pM). It also exhibits inhibitory activity against MRCK, with an IC50 of 150 nM. Research indicates that Chroman 1, at 50 nM over 24 hours, inhibits caspase-3/7 activation and reduces apoptosis in human pluripotent stem cells.
