Biological Activity

Description 2,3-Butanedione monoxime (BDM, Diacetyl monoxime, Diacetylmonoxime) is the well-characterized, low-affinity, non-competitive inhibitor of skeletal muscle myosin-II and inhibits skeletal and cardiac muscle contraction.
Targets
skeletal muscle myosin-II [1]
In vitro BDM inhibits skeletal muscle myosin-II, but it does not inhibit the ATPase activity of the other myosins. BDM has a broad effect on many non-myosin proteins (many uncharacterized), and thus should not be used in whole-cell experiments as a myosin inhibitor[1]. BDM inhibits the L-type Ca2+-channel and reduces the opening probability, thereby increasing the closed time of this particular channel. BDM drives nonspecific protein dephosphorylation of many cellular proteins, including ion channels[2].
In vivo BDM significant lowers the blood pressure in normo- and hypertensive rats. BDM has been shown to improve right atrial function in a porcine model of allogenic heart transplantation[2].
