Used primarily as a vasodilator, it is effective in preventing and treating cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage. It helps improve blood flow in the brain by relaxing blood vessels, reducing the risk of ischemic neurological deficits. Also investigated for use in pulmonary hypertension due to its ability to reduce vascular resistance. Shows potential in neurodegenerative conditions by protecting neurons and reducing inflammation. Applied in research settings to study Rho kinase (ROCK) pathways, playing a role in cell migration, proliferation, and apoptosis. Its ROCK inhibitory action makes it a candidate for studying cardiovascular diseases, glaucoma, and certain cancers.
