Inhibition of Agonist-Induced Positive Inotropy by a Selective Rho-Associated Kinase Inhibitor, Y-27632

We examined the effect of Y-27632 ((+)-(R)-trans-4-(1-aminoethyl)-N-(4-pyridyl)cyclo-hexanecarboxamide), a selective Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) inhibitor, on agonist-induced inotropy in isolated mouse left atria. Endothelin-1, angiotensin-II, and prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) produced positive inotrop...
