Visnagin has acute hypotensive, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects, it protects against doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy through modulation of mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase.

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)

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.

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.

Angiotensin II is a major biologically active vasoconstrictor peptide that regulates blood pressure by binding to AT1R and AT2R receptors. It stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, promotes aldosterone synthesis, and enhances renal function. Additionally, it induces vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and increases collagen synthesis, leading to vascular and myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis. It also promotes apoptosis and endothelial capillary formation. Angiotensin II is commonly used to induce hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy animal models.

McN5691 (RWJ26240) is a voltage-dependent calcium channel blocker with antihypertensive activity that can be used in the study of diseases caused by vascular smooth muscle abnormalities.

Daltroban (SKF 96148) is a specific thromboxane A2 (TXA2) receptor antagonist. Daltroban shows protective effect in reperfusion injury. Daltroban increase intracellular calcium in vascular smooth muscle cells.

MS-444 (BE-34776) is a smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and HuR inhibitor with antitumor activity for triple-negative breast and colorectal cancer.

SKF96067 is a reversible gastric H+ K+-ATPase inhibitor that can induce relaxation of human airway smooth muscle in vitro.

Calindol hydrochloride is a potent orthosteric modulator (EC50: 132 nM) of the putative calcium-calcium-sensitive receptor (CaSR), inhibits Pi-induced VC, and delays the progression of calcification in vascular smooth muscle cells.

ASM-024, a potent nicotinic receptor agonist, is a small molecule synthetic piperazine compound that promotes different targets and signaling pathways of β2-adrenergic receptors mediating smooth muscle relaxation, and is a potential compound for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive bronchitis with anti-inflammatory activity.

Ripisartan (UP-269-6) is a potent and specific angiotensin II receptor antagonist that inhibits angiotensin II-mediated sympathetic tachycardia responses.

Regrelor disodium (INS 50589) is a P2Y12 receptor antagonist that prevents thrombosis, effectively inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell contraction, curbs cell proliferation, and reduces inflammation.

SB-209670 is a selective endothelin receptor antagonist that inhibits the activity of ET(B) receptors in rat vascular endothelium and vascular smooth muscle.

(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.

(R)-Naroparcil is an isomer of Naroparcil. Naroparcil, a 4-methylumbelliferyl beta-D-xyloside analog, is associated with vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and inhibits thrombus formation in the Wessler slough model.

Elgodipine significantly reduced the incidence and severity of exercise-induced angina pectoris systemically and was able to inhibit vascular smooth muscle proliferation through a mechanism independent of the expression of the transcription factors c-fos and c-jun. The Elgodipine-induced inhibition was voltage-dependent. Elgodipine is a potential compound for the treatment of angina pectoris.
