Discovery of lipoic acid-4-phenyl-1H-pyrazole hybrids as novel bifunctional ROCK inhibitors with antioxidant activity

摘要

A series of lipoic acid (LA) and 4-phenyl-1H-pyrazole hybrids as bifunctional Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) inhibitors were designed, synthesized and evaluated. Compound 15 is identified to be a novel potent bifunctional ROCK inhibitor with antioxidant activity and neuroprotection.
