CK-2018571 selectively inhibits the ATPase activity of smooth muscle myosin as compared to other myosin II isoforms (non-muscle myosin, cardiac and skeletal muscle myosins). 2. CK-2018571 inhibits smooth muscle myosin in a weak actin-binding state, consistent with its ability to relax smooth muscle tissue in vitro. 3. CK2018571 inhibits the chemical cleavage of ATP by smooth muscle myosin, a mechanism distinct from previously identified myosin inhibitors such as blebbistatin and BTS. 4. CK-2018571 inhibits calcium-induced force development in skinned caudal artery and relaxes skinned rings activated by thiophosphorylation, consistent with relaxation occurring as a consequence of the direct inhibition of smooth muscle myosin. 30
