Abstract: Provided is a method of treating myasthenia gravis in a patient by administering to the patient an effective amount of a skeletal muscle troponin activator, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: Certain substituted sulfonamide derivatives selectively modulate the cardiac sarcomere, for example by potentiating cardiac myosin, and are useful in the treatment of systolic heart failure including congestive heart failure.

Abstract: Certain substituted benzamide derivatives selectively modulate the cardiac sarcomere, for example by potentiating cardiac myosin, and are useful in the treatment of systolic heart failure including congestive heart failure.

Abstract: Certain substituted urea derivatives modulate diskeletal myosin, skeletal actin, skeletal tropomyosin, skeletal troponin C, skeletal troponin I, skeletal troponin T, and skeletal muscle, including fragments and isoforms thereof, as well as the skeletal sarcomere, and are useful in the treatment of obesity, sarcopenia, wasting syndrome, frailty, muscle spasm, cachexia, neuromuscular diseases (e.g., amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy, familial or acquired myopathies or muscular dystrophies), post-surgical and post-traumatic muscle weakness, and other conditions.

Abstract: Certain substituted sulfonamide derivatives of Formula I selectively modulate the cardiac sarcomere, for example by potentiating cardiac myosin, and are useful in the treatment of systolic heart failure including congestive heart failure.

Abstract: Certain substituted urea derivatives selectively modulate the cardiac sarcomere, for example by potentiating cardiac myosin, and are useful in the treatment of systolic heart failure including congestive heart failure.

Abstract: Described herein are methods which identify candidate agents as binding to a protein or as a modulator of the binding characteristics or biological activity of a protein. Generally, the methods involve the use of ADP or phosphate. The assays can be used in a high throughput system to obviate the cumbersome steps of using gels or radioactive materials.
