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.

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.

Trichostatin A (TSA), a natural derivative of diene isohydroxamic acids, is a specific and reversible histone deacetylase inhibitor (IC50=1.8 nM) that induces hyperacetylation of core histones to regulate chromatin structure.

(Iso)-Dehydroemetine (Dehydroisoemetine, (+ -)-) is a compound with antispasmolytic effect on smooth muscle.

safironil is a novel antifibrotic compound and a competitive inhibitor of collagen synthesis. safironil inhibited in vitro experiments on fibroblast activation monitored by collagen I mRNA or smooth muscle alpha-actin levels, and fibrogenesis as judged by type I and type III collagen and laminin production. safironil had no effect on the size of liver granulomas without altering total hydroxyproline, but altered the pattern of fibrosis by increasing type III and decreasing type I collagen deposition.
