Myosin

Myosin inhibitors and activators act on the actin-based motor proteins of muscle and non-muscle cells. Myosins hydrolyze adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and convert that chemical energy into movement along actin filaments. Blebbistatin was introduced in 2003 as a selective inhibitor of non-muscle myosin II and is used to study cytokinesis and cortical tension. The catalogue lists it as (-)-Blebbistcitin together with para-Nitroblebbistatin, a photostable analog suited to imaging experiments. Omecamtiv mecarbil works in the opposite direction and accelerates the cardiac myosin ATPase cycle. ML 7 hydrochloride and ML-9 hydrochloride act upstream on myosin light chain kinase, as does the neighboring MLCK category.

    4-Hydroxyacetophenone

    Synonyms: P-hydroxyacetophenone

    4-Hydroxyacetophenone is a potent myosin activator that has demonstrated hepatoprotective and choleretic properties. This compound exhibits antiviral and anti-inflammatory activities, particularly against hepatitis B virus, and is known to inhibit cancer cell adhesion, invasion, and migration through actin remodeling. Its diverse biological activities make 4-Hydroxyacetophenone a valuable reagent for research in inflammatory diseases and cancer studies.
