Biological Activity
Mavacamten (MYK-461) is a cardiac myosin inhibitor used to study sarcomere contractility and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Reduced contractility by decreasing ATPase activity of cardiac myosin heavy chain.

Genetic cardiomyopathy models
Mice carrying heterozygous human myosin-heavy-chain mutations. [1]
Early chronic treatment suppressed ventricular hypertrophy, cardiomyocyte disarray and myocardial fibrosis.
Gene-expression response
Treated mouse heart tissue. [1]
Hypertrophic and profibrotic transcriptional changes were attenuated.
Laropiprant is a DP1 receptor antagonist for prostanoid signaling and platelet-function research. Its effects on platelet activation vary with agonist and concentration.
