    blocks enzymes involved in cell contraction and motility

    A ROCK inhibitor, also known as a Rho-associated kinase inhibitor, is a type of drug that blocks the activity of Rho-associated kinases (ROCKs). These enzymes play a crucial role in various cellular functions, including contraction, motility, proliferation, and apoptosis. By inhibiting ROCKs, these drugs can help treat conditions like hypertension, glaucoma, and even promote hair growth in cases of alopecia by improving blood flow and reducing inflammation.
