Felodipine (CGH-869) is a longlasting 1, 4-dihydropyridine calcium channel repressor.

Zolmitriptan (311C90) selectively binds to and activates serotonin (5-HT) 1B receptors expressed in intracranial arteries and 5-HT 1D receptors located on peripheral trigeminal sensory nerve terminals in the meninges and central terminals in brainstem sensory nuclei. Zolmitriptan is a member of the triptan class of agents with anti-migraine properties. Receptor binding results in constriction of cranial vessels, reduction of vessel pulsation and inhibition of nociceptive transmission, thereby providing relief of migraine headaches. Zolmitriptan may also relieve migraine headaches by inhibition of pro-inflammatory neuropeptide release.

Methocarbamol (AHR 85) is a centrally acting muscle relaxant whose mode of action has not been established. It is used as an adjunct in the symptomatic treatment of musculoskeletal conditions associated with painful muscle spasm.

Vardenafil hydrochloride trihydrate (BAY38-9456) is a new type PDE inhibitor with IC50 of 0.7 and 180 nM for PDE5 and PDE1, respectively.

Vardenafil hydrochloride is a New Phosphodiesterase Type 5(PDE5) Inhibitor, in the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction in Men With Diabetes

Mivacurium dichloride (Mivacurium chloride) is a non-depolarising, rapid neuromuscular blocker of short duration, used therefore as anesthetic, to provide skeletal muscle relaxation in minor surgical operations, in emergency surgical procedures of short to intermediate duration and during intubation of the trachea.

Karanjin is a flavonoid obtained from the seeds of the karanja tree.Karanjin induces GLUT4 translocation in skeletal muscle cells by increasing AMPK activity. Karanjin can induce cancer cell death through cell cycle arrest and enhance apoptosis.

Losartan Carboxylic Acid (E-3174), a potent AT1 antagonist (Kis: 0.57 nM, rat; 0.67 nM, human), produces a depressor response and vasodilatation. As a metabolite of losartan, it is more potent than losartan in blocking angiotensin II-induced responses in vascular smooth muscle cells.

(±)-1,2-Diolein [1,2-Dioleoyl-rac-glycerol] is a PKC activator that can increase Ca²⁺ influx in myotubes.

Vardenafil dihydrochloride (Levitra) is a new type PDE inhibitor with IC50 of 0.7 and 180 nM for PDE5 and PDE1, respectively.

Darusentan (Lu-135252) is a potent inhibitor of endothelin signaling and function in large and small arteries.

BQ-123 is a selective endothelin A receptor (ETA) antagonist with IC50 of 7.3 nM. Phase 2.

CCG-222740 is an inhibitor of Rho/MRTF pathway

PD 089828 is a competitive inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinases FGFR1, PDGFRβ, and EGFR (IC50s = 0.15, 1.76, and 5.47 µM, respectively) and a noncompetitive inhibitor of the nonreceptor tyrosine kinase c-Src (IC50 = 0.18 µM)

1,3,5,8-Tetrahydroxyxanthone (Desmethylbellidifolin) is a natural xanthone extracted from Gentianella acuta, exhibiting antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory activities. Dimethylbellidifolin shows mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA98, TA97, and TA2637 by the preincubation method and significantly inhibits the growth of Staphylococcus aureus at a dose of 200 µg/disk.

Muscle homing peptide M12 preferentially binds to proteins on the surface of muscle cells. It enhances the cellular uptake of nanoparticles (NPs) in myoblasts. Additionally, Muscle homing peptide M12 is covalently attached to PLGA-PEG nanoparticles through an N-hydroxysuccinimide ester reaction, with the bonding occurring at the α-amino group at the N-terminus of the peptide chain.

Skeletal muscle-targeted peptide MSP, a muscle-targeting peptide (MTP) composed of seven amino acids (ASSLNIA), selectively binds to various ligands in muscle tissues. This targeting capability makes it a useful tool in researching cardiac and skeletal muscle diseases.

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a commonly used solvent to dissolve polar and non-polar compounds. Dimethyl sulfoxide has been widely used for masterbatch preparation of compounds in biological experiments. Dimethyl sulfoxide has bacteriostatic activity.

Dexamethasone is a glucocorticoid receptor agonist and IL receptor modulator with anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and apoptosis-inducing activities. It inhibits the production of inflammatory miRNA-155 exosomes in macrophages, significantly reduces inflammatory cytokine expression in neutrophils and monocytes, suppresses LPS-induced macrophage inflammation, and induces autophagy. It is commonly used to induce animal models of depression, muscle atrophy, and hypertension, and holds potential in COVID-19 research.

Ceruletide is a decapeptide that serves as a safe and effective cholecystokinin receptor agonist, exerting a direct spasmogenic effect on the gallbladder muscle and bile ducts, and is commonly used to establish pancreatitis models.

Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (Phorbol dibutyrate) is a PKC activator that inhibits α1-adrenoceptor-mediated positive inotropic effects in a concentration-dependent manner, induced by contraction of isolated rabbit vascular smooth muscle.

(L)-Sodium lactate (Sodium L-Lactate) is produced from pyruvate by the enzyme Lactate Dehydrogenase. Lactate production occurs during anaerobic glycolysis or in proliferatively active cells. L-Lactic Acid occurs in small quantities in the blood and muscle fluid of man and animals. The lactic acid concentration increases in muscle and blood after vigorous activity. L-Lactic acid is also present in liver, kidney, thymus gland, human amniotic fluid, and other organs and body fluids.

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a natural hormone-like substance involved in various physiological functions, including the contraction and relaxation of smooth muscles, dilation and constriction of blood vessels, regulation of blood pressure, and modulation of inflammation. It can be used to induce neuropathic pain models.
