Belumosudil is a kinase inhibitor which selectively inhibits rho-associated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase (ROCK), predominantly inhibiting ROCK2 and to a lesser extent, ROCK1. ROCK2 inhibition downregulates signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) phosphorylation and decreases expression of type 17 helper T-cell (Th17) transcription factors (Cutler 2021). ROCK2 inhibition also restores immune system balance via upregulation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5), which results in shifting Th17/regulatory T-cell balance (Jagasia 2021). Belumosudil inhibition of ROCK2 results in downregulation of proinflammatory responses and inhibits aberrant profibrotic signaling.
