Mao, Churu Zhan, Shuai Fang, Zhangyun Fang, Jiebin Huang, Yun Ding, Wanjing Ma, Zhongjun rho-Associated Kinases Animals Dermatitis, Atopic Drug Design Mice Protein Kinase Inhibitors Humans Structure-Activity Relationship Atopic dermatitis (AD) remains a significant clinical challenge due to the limited efficacy and safety concerns associated with current therapies. To address this unmet need, we utilized structure-guided analysis and identified a previously unrecognized hydrophobic surface () unique to ROCK2. Exploiting this structural feature through virtual screening led to the discovery of compound , a potent ROCK2 inhibitor with markedly improved selectivity compared to the reference compound . In a mouse model of MC903-induced AD, effectively suppressed inflammation and achieved therapeutic efficacy superior to the model group, while maintaining a favorable safety profile. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that attenuates AD pathology by downregulating , highlighting the ROCK2-S100A9 axis as a novel pathway in AD pathogenesis. Collectively, these findings establish as a highly active and selective inhibitor, marking the first exploration of ROCK2-targeted therapy for AD treatment.
