Testosterone acetate (NSC-523836) is a hormone with in vitro antitumor activity.

BD-AcAc 2 (Ketone Ester) is a ketone monoester and can be used as a source of oral nutritional ketones. BD-AcAc 2 can elevate plasma levels of acetoacetate and β-hydroxybutyrate, blood Na+, blood glucose levels and blood creatinine levels after oral administration in mice. BD-AcAc 2 can partly prevent muscle weakness in septic mice. BD-AcAc 2 exhibits potential to improve endurance and exercise performance in animal body. BD-AcAc 2 can also be used to research diabetes or Parkinson's disease.

PF-06260414 is a selective androgen receptor modulator or SARM used to treat muscle weakness.

Tirasemtiv (CK-2017357)(CK 2017357) is a small-molecule fast-skeletal-troponin activator, with a potential treatment for muscle weakness and neuromuscular dysfunction.

R 715, a bradykinin B1 receptor antagonist, inhibits contractions in isolated human umbilical cords that express bradykinin B1 receptors (pA2 = 8.49). When administered at doses of 200, 400, and 600 µg/kg, R 715 enhances latency to tail withdrawal in the tail-flick test for diabetic neuropathy mouse models induced by streptozotocin (STZ), signaling potential analgesic properties. Furthermore, at a 1 mg/kg per day dosage, it mitigates symptoms in a mouse model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induced by MOG35-55 antigen peptide, such as reducing hind limb weakness and paralysis, improving gait symmetry, and decreasing spinal inflammation, neuron demyelination, and lesion monocyte invasion. Additionally, R 715 at 0.01 nmol/animal, administered intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.), lowers mean arterial blood pressure and increases heart rate in spontaneously hypertensive rats, indicating cardiovascular effects.

S1PL-IN-31 is a dual-function chemical compound acting as an inhibitor of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) lyase with an IC50 value of 210 nM and as an antagonist of the Smoothened (Smo) receptor with an IC50 of 440 nM. Demonstrating therapeutic potential, this compound, at a dosage of 2 mg/kg per day, effectively mitigates cervical and thoracic lymphocyte infiltration and neuromuscular weakness in rats suffering from experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a condition triggered by the MOG29-152 peptide from myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein. Additionally, it significantly decreases the total lymphocyte count, including reductions in subsets of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and B cells. At a higher dosage of 100 mg/kg, S1PL-IN-31 elevates S1P levels within the heart and lymph nodes, while doses of 3 and 10 mg/kg per day notably lower heart rates in female rats, showcasing its multifaceted biological impacts and potential for clinical application.
