This presentation concluded that CK-1122534 increases the fractional shortening in ventricular myocytes (a measure of cardiac contractility) in a dose-dependent manner, does not increase the calcium transient, does not inhibit phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity and is active in the presence of a beta-adrenergic blocker.

Furthermore, Cytokinetics presented results that demonstrated that CK-1122534 does not increase the calcium transient and does not inhibit phosphodiesterase activity and that the attendant increase in fractional shortening is not attenuated by the addition of a beta-adrenergic blocker, altogether providing evidence that CK-1122534 increases myocyte contractility by directly activating cardiac myosin.
