MEDICA16 is a selective agonist for GPR40 as well as a partial agonist for GPR120. MEDICA16, an ATP-citrate lyase inhibitor, significantly reduces intracellular TG content in gastrocnemius muscle with an increase in insulin sensitivity.

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.

2,3-Butanedione 2-Monoxime (Diacetyl monoxime) is an inhibitor of skeletal and cardiac muscle contraction.

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.

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

Sabinene is a natural product that has antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties

SB 452533 is an antagonist of the vanilloid receptor 1(pKb: 7.8).

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.

Creatine Kinase MM (CK-MM), Human Skeletal Muscle (CK-MM, CKMM), serves as a biomaterial or organic compound applicable in life science research.

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.

Duloxetine hydrochloride ((S)-Duloxetine hydrochloride) is a thiophene derivative and selective neurotransmitter uptake inhibitor for serotonin and noradrenaline (SNRI). It is an antidepressant agent and anxiolytic, also used for treating pain in patients with diabetes mellitus and fibromyalgia.

JB061 is a nonmuscle myosin inhibitor, demonstrating selective inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 4.4 μM (Cardiac muscle myosin), 9.1 μM (Skeletal muscle myosin), and >100 μM (Smooth muscle myosin II). It exhibits limited efficacy in reducing ATPase activity, with an IC50 exceeding 200 μM. Furthermore, JB061 displays cytotoxic effects on COS-7 cells, evidenced by an IC50 value of 39 μM.

JB062 is a chemical compound acting as a nonmuscle myosin inhibitor, exhibiting IC50 values of 1.6, 5.4, and >100 μM against skeletal muscle myosin, cardiac muscle myosin, and smooth muscle myosin II, respectively. It selectively exhibits cytotoxicity towards human cancer cells without affecting normal cells. The compound is applicable in research fields concerning muscle spasticity, chronic musculoskeletal pain, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

GFB-8438 is a potent and subtype selective inhibitor of TRPC5(IC50s of 0.18 and 0.29 μM of hTRPC5 and hTRPC4, respectively).

Duloxetine is an inhibitor of serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake(Ki of 4.6 nM),with treatment of major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder.

JTV-519 is a Ca2+-dependent blocker and prevents abnormal Ca(2+) leak from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in the ischemic heart and skeletal muscle (SkM) by stabilizing the ryanodine receptors.

EMD57033 is a cardiac troponin C (cTnC) activator, a dominant Ca2+ sensitizer, which functions by binding to cardiac/slow skeletal troponin C heterodimers to promote cardiac contraction.

Transcainide(R 54718), a new lidocaine analog, is an orally active antiarrhythmic agent.Transcainide blocks the open state of BTX-activated sodium channels in bovine heart and rat skeletal muscle.

PTP1B-IN-22 is a protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitor that inhibits glucose uptake in skeletal muscle L6 myotubes.

Torbafylline, a xanthine derivative, is a phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor that attenuates burn-induced protein hydrolysis in rat skeletal muscle through activation of the PDE4/cAMP/EPAC/PI3K/Akt pathway, and inhibits the enhanced ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent protein hydrolysis in skeletal muscle of cancer- and sepsis-prone rats.

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.

Quinidine hydrochloride monohydrate is an optical isomer of quinine, extracted from the bark of the Cinchona tree and similar plant species. It prolongs cellular action potential and decreases automaticity. This alkaloid dampens the excitability of cardiac and skeletal muscles by blocking sodium and potassium currents across cellular membranes. Quinidine also blocks muscarinic and alpha-adrenergic neurotransmission.
