We identified a new benzothiophene containing Rho kinase inhibitor scaffold in an ultra high-throughput enzymatic activity screen. SAR studies, driven by a novel label-free cellular impedance assay, were used to derive 39, which substantially reduced intraocular pressure in a monkey model of glaucoma-associated ocular hypertension.
