Myomed-946

MyoMed-946 is a small moelcule that inhibits MuRF1 (TRIM63) activity and MuRF1/MuRF2 expression;MyoMed-946 inhibits MuRF1 expression/activity in vivo and is able to attenuate skeletal muscle atrophy and dysfunction in mice treated with monocrotaline to induce right ventricular hypertrophy and subsequent cardiac cachexia.MyoMed-946 attenuates skeletal muscle strength loss in mouse model for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with no significant effects on serum glucose.MyoMed-946 attenuates induction of MuRF1 in tumor stressed muscles.MyoMed-946 also rescues citrate synthase and complex-1 activities in tumor-stressed muscles.MuRF1 (muscle-specific RING finger protein-1) is a muscle-specific ubiquitin ligase that regulates muscle catabolism during chronic wasting states, both MuRF1 and MuRF2 participate in glucose and, also, in lipid regulation.
