ChEMBL	Competition Binding Assay (ATP 10 uM) : Compounds were tested using an 11-point curve with 3-fold serial dilutions. IC50 determinations were made using an ATP concentration of 10 uM. The highest concentration tested was 30 μM. Test compounds were prepared in 100% DMSO at 100x final test concentration and were diluted to 1x in the assay with a final DMSO concentration of 1%. Streptavidin-coated magnetic beads were treated with biotinylated small molecule ligands for 30 min at RT to generate affinity resins for kinase assays. The ligand-bound beads were blocked with excess biotin and washed with blocking buffer (SeaBlock (Pierce), 1% BSA, 0.05% Tween 20, 1 mM DTT) to remove unbound ligand and to reduce non-specific binding. Binding reactions were assembled by combining kinases, ligand-bound affinity beads, and test compounds in 1x binding buffer (20% SeaBlock, 0.17xPBS, 0.05% Tween 20, 6 mM DTT). All reactions were performed in polystyrene 96-well plates in a final volume of 0.135 mL . The assay plates were incubated at RT with shaking for 1 hr. The affinity bead s were washed with wash buffer (1?PBS, 0.05% Tween 20). The beads were then re-suspended in elution buffer (1?PBS, 0.05% Tween 20, 0.5 μM non-biotinylated affinity ligand) and incubated at RT with shaking for 30 min. The kinase concentration in the eluates was measured by qPCR.	B	5.13	pKd	7400	nM	Kd	US-11198680-B2. Rho kinase inhibitor BA-1049 (R) and active metabolites thereof (2021)

ChEMBL	ROCK1 and ROCK2 Compound Selectivity: Dose response curves for Rho-kinase inhibition were derived from a Millipore immuno-based 96 well plate assay (Millipore catalog number CSA001). Purified active ROCK1 and ROCK2 were obtained from Invitrogen (catalog numbers ROCK1, PV3691 and ROCK2, PV3759). The kit components include assay plates, which are pre-coated with recombinant MYPT1, which contains a specifically phosphorylatable Thr696. The inhibitory activities of compounds are measured according to the manufactures protocol. Briefly, decreasing concentrations of test compounds or the known ROCK inhibitor Y-27963, are added, from 50 uM to 0.003 uM to reaction buffer containing 5 mM MgCl2, and 10 mUnits of ROCK1 or ROCK2 in assay dilution buffer. This mixture is overlayed into the 96 well plate and the reaction is initiated with the addition of 2.5 uM ATP. The assay proceeds at 30° Celsius for 30 minutes with gentle shaking at 120 rpm. The assay is terminated by washing of the plate 3 times with Tris-buffered saline and tween wash buffer. Anti-phospho-MYPT1 (Thr696) antibody is added to each well to detect the phosphorylated substrate and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature after which HRP conjugated anti-rabbit IgG secondary is added for 1 hour at room temperature. After washing the assay is developed using a substrate reagent and the absorbance is read at 450 nm on a Tecan Infinite M1000 reflecting the relative remaining ROCK phosphorylation activity.

ChEMBL	Kinase Inhibition Assay: Kinase inhibition can be determined using an IMAP® assay (Molecular Devices). This assay method involves the use of a fluorescently-tagged peptide substrate. Phosphorylation of the tagged peptide by a kinase of interest promotes binding of the peptide to a trivalent metal-based nanoparticle via the specific, high affinity interaction between the phospho-group and the trivalent metal. Proximity to the nanoparticle results in increased fluorescence polarization Inhibition of the kinase by a kinase inhibitor prevents phosphorylation of the substrate and thereby limits binding of the fluorescently-tagged substrate to the nanoparticle. Such an assay can be compatible with a microwell assay format, allowing simultaneous determination of IC50 of multiple compounds.	B	6.3	pKi	500	nM	Ki	US-9815820-B2. Rho kinase inhibitors (2017)
ChEMBL	Z′-LYTE Kinase Assay: Purified active ROCK1 and ROCK2 were obtained from Invitrogen (catalog numbers ROCK1, PV3691 and ROCK2, PV3759). The kit components include a coumarin and fluorescein labeled peptide based on myosin light chain 2 (KKRPQRRYSNVF), a proprietary protease containing development reagent and a proprietary Stop buffer used to terminate the development reaction. The inhibitory activities of compounds are measured according to the manufactures protocol. Briefly, decreasing concentrations of test compounds or the known ROCK inhibitor Y-27963, are added, from 10 uM to 2.56×10−5 uM to reaction buffer containing 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 5 mM EGTA, and 0.05% Brij-35 and of ROCK1 at 0.18 ug/mL or ROCK2 at 0.8 ug/mL in assay dilution buffer. This mixture is overlayed into a white 96-well half area plate and the reaction is initiated with the addition of 5 uM ATP for ROCK1 or 12 uM ATP for ROCK2. The assay proceeds at room temperature for 1 hour followed by the addition of development reagent, and further incubation for 1 hour at room temperature. STOP reagent is then added and the reaction and immediately the coumarin and fluorescein emission signals are read on a Tecan Infinite M1000 fluorescence plate reader (excitation: 400 nm; emission 445 and 520 nm, respectively).
