ML-7 hydrochloride (ML-7 HCl) is a cell-permeable, reversible, effective, ATP-competitive, and specific inhibitor of myosin light chain kinase (Ki: 300 nM); also inhibits smooth-muscle myosin light chain kinase, PKA, and PKC.

Omecamtiv mecarbil (CK-1827452) has been used in trials studying the treatment and basic science of Heart Failure, Echocardiogram, Pharmacokinetics, Chronic Heart Failure, and History of Chronic Heart Failure, among others.

W-7 hydrochloride (W-7 HCl), a calmodulin antagonist, inhibits Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent myosin light chain kinase and phosphodiesterase, W-7 hydrochloride induces apoptosis and has antitumor activity.

Pentachloropseudilin (PClP) is a reversible variant 1 myosin inhibitor with antimicrobial activity that inhibits Myo1s and class 5 myosins.Pentachloropseudilin inhibits growth factor-beta (TGF-β), which blocks host cell invasion by Trypanosoma cruzi.

Danicamtiv (MYK-491) is an inotropic agent and it also is a selective allosteric activator of cardiac myosin. Danicamtiv increases cardiac systolic function and preserves mechanical efficiency.

JB002, a myosin II inhibitor, exhibits potent activity with an IC50 of ≤10 μM. It holds potential for research applications in muscle spasticity, chronic musculoskeletal pain, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

para-Nitroblebbistatin is a non-cytotoxic, non-fluorescent, photostable, and specific inhibitor of myosin II. para-Nitroblebbistatin can be used to study the specific roles of myosin II in physiology, development, and cell biology.

ML-9 suppresses MLCK, PKA, and PKC activity with Ki values of 4, 32, and 54 μM, respectively. ML-9 is a selective and effective inhibitor of Akt kinase, inhibits myosin light-chain kinase (MLCK), and stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) activity. ML-9 causes autophagy by stimulating autophagosome formation and inhibiting their degradation.

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.
