Muscle spasticity after nervous system injuries and painful low back spasm affect more than 10% of global population. Current medications are of limited efficacy and cause neurological and cardiovascular side effects because they target upstream regulators of muscle contraction. Direct myosin inhibition could provide optimal muscle relaxation, however, targeting skeletal myosin is particularly challenging because of its similarity to the cardiac isoform. We identified a key residue difference between these myosin isoforms, located in the communication center of the functional regions, which allowed us to design a selective inhibitor, MPH-220. Mutagenic analysis and the atomic structure of MPH-220-bound skeletal muscle myosin confirmed the mechanism of specificity. Targeting skeletal muscle myosin by MPH-220 enabled muscle relaxation, in human and model systems, without cardiovascular side effects and improved spastic gait disorders after brain injury in a disease model. MPH-220 provides a potential nervous system-independent option to treat spasticity and muscle stiffness. Therapeutic muscle relaxation is currently achieved pharmacologically via indirect mechanisms, by modulation of the nervous system. Selective targeting of skeletal muscle has not been possible because myosin isoforms in skeletal muscle and the heart are structurally very similar. Using a rational, structure-based approach, Gyimesi et al. design a small molecule muscle relaxant that specifically inhibits the skeletal, but not the cardiac, myosin 2 isoform. With their new drug candidate, they show how spasticity and muscle stiffness might be relieved pharmacologically without cardiac or nervous system side effects.
