Myosin Inhibitors

Myosin inhibitors are drugs that target myosin, a protein involved in muscle contraction and cell movement. By blocking myosin's activity, these inhibitors can reduce excessive muscle contractions or inhibit harmful cell movements. They are used to treat certain conditions like cardiac hypertrophy (abnormal thickening of the heart muscle), some cancers, and other diseases where controlling muscle activity or cell motility is beneficial. These drugs help modulate the force generation within cells, offering a targeted approach to managing various medical conditions without affecting other vital functions excessively.
