CS-722 Free base is a synthetic central muscle relaxant exhibiting muscle relaxant effects and inhibition of spinal reflexes. In hippocampal cultures, CS-722 Free base may suppress spontaneous inhibitory and excitatory post-synaptic currents by inhibiting sodium and calcium currents.

Silperisone HCl (RGH-5002) blocks sodium and calcium channels in cells, decreases excitability and contractility of muscle cells, reduces peripheral tone, and acts as a muscle relaxant and peripheral vasodilator. Silperisone HCl is used to treat recurrent painful myoclonus due to spinal cord injury, abnormal hypertonia due to cerebrovascular disease, dystonia symptoms, cone tension syndrome, multiple sclerosis myospasm and myelitis. silperisone is a sodium channel protein type 2 alpha channel blocker. silperisone is an organosilicon similar to tolperisone, an organosilicon compound with centrally acting muscle relaxant properties.

Pirodomast is a thromboxane A (TXA2) synthase inhibitor. Pirodomast inhibits leukotriene (LT) D4, C4, E4 formation and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) activity, but is weakly or ineffectively antagonistic to guinea pig bronchospasm induced by histamine, methacholine, serotonin, LTC4, or platelet-activating factor. Pirodomast is a potential antiallergic compound. Pirodomast had only weak relaxant activity on guinea pig trachea in vitro. Pirodomast is a potential antiallergic compound that inhibits the protein hydrolyzing activity of trypsin in vitro, prevents antigen-induced immediate and late asthmatic responses in allergic sheep in vivo, and inhibits antigen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness to histamine and carbachol in allergic sheep.

Inaperisone is a novel centrally acting muscle relaxant that inhibits the voiding reflex. Inaperisone may inhibit the voiding reflex by acting indirectly on GABAB receptors in the brainstem.

Lanperisone HCl (NK 433) is a novel orally available centrally acting muscle relaxant with anticancer activity and inhibits mono- and polysynaptic reflex potentials.Lanperisone HCl acts by inducing non-apoptotic cell death in the cell cycle and translational independence.

Mephenesin (Cresoxydiol) is a centrally acting muscle relaxant with a short duration of action.

Dantrolene sodium (Dantrolene sodium salt) is a skeletal muscle relaxant and can interfere with excitation-contraction coupling in the muscle fiber. It is used for the treatment of spasticity and other neuromuscular abnormalities. Its mechanism of action is may not central, but dantrolene is usually grouped with the central muscle relaxants.

Rocuronium bromide (ORG 9426) is a muscle relaxant or aminosteroid non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocker. During surgery or mechanical ventilation, it is used to facilitate endotracheal intubation and to provide skeletal muscle relaxation.

Pancuronium dibromide (Pavulon), a competitive AChR antagonist (IC50 = 5.5 nM), acts as a skeletal muscle relaxant. Pancuronium dibromide(Pancuronium bromide) blocking neuromuscular transmission is achieved by competing with acetylcholine for receptor sites on the motor end-plate.

Cyclandelate (BS 572), a direct-acting smooth muscle relaxant, is used to dilate blood vessels.

Tolperisone hydrochloride (Muscalm), a centrally acting muscle relaxant, is used in the therapy of pathologically increased tone of the cross-striated muscle resulted by neurological diseases (damage of the encephalomyelitis, myelopathy, multiple sclerosis, pyramidal tract) and of spastic paralysis and other encephalopathies manifested with muscular dystonia.

Homoveratronitrile is an impurity of Verapamil. It is also an intermediate in the preparation of the muscle relaxant Papverine.

Carbenoxolone disodium (Duogastrone) salt is an agent derived from licorice root. It is used for the treatment of digestive tract ulcers, especially in the stomach. Antidiuretic side effects are frequent, but otherwise, the drug is low in toxicity.

Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is a Thiazide Diuretic. The physiologic effect of hydrochlorothiazide is by means of Increased Diuresis.

Fesoterodine fumarate (Toviaz) is the fumarate salt form of fesoterodine, a competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist with muscle relaxant and urinary antispasmodic properties. Fesoterodine is rapidly hydrolyzed in vivo into its active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine, which binds and inhibits muscarinic receptors on the bladder detrusor muscle, thereby preventing bladder contractions or spasms caused by acetylcholine.

Vecuronium bromide (ORG NC 45) is a synthetic, intermediate-acting, mono-quaternary steroid that functions as a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent with muscle relaxant properties.

Metaxalone (Methaxalonum) (marketed by King Pharmaceuticals under the brand name Skelaxin ) is a muscle relaxant used to relax muscles and relieve pain caused by strains, sprains, and other musculoskeletal conditions.

Chlorzoxazone (Chlorzoxazon) is a Muscle Relaxant. The physiologic effect of chlorzoxazone is by means of Centrally-mediated Muscle Relaxation.

Dantrolene depresses excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle by binding to the ryanodine receptor 1 and decreasing intracellular calcium concentration. Ryanodine receptors mediate the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, an essential step in muscle contraction. Dantrolene sodium hemiheptahydrate (Sodium dantrolene) is the sodium salt form of dantrolene, a hydantoin derivative, and direct-acting skeletal muscle relaxant.

Quinine dihydrochloride (Quinine bimuriate) is a primary alkaloid of various species of Cinchona (Rubiaceae). It is also an antimalarial and muscle relaxant (skeletal).

Eperisone is a skeletal muscle relaxant and a spasmolytic agent related structurally to Tolperisone.
