Guanosine monophosphate also known as guanylic acid or 5'-GMP belongs to the class of organic compounds known as purine ribonucleoside monophosphates. In particular L-Glutamic acid and guanosine monophosphate can be biosynthesized from xanthylic acid and L-glutamine; which is catalyzed by the enzyme GMP synthase.

Suc-Leu-Tyr-AMC is a fluorescent substrate for calpain I and II, papain (another cysteine protease), and is used to measure the chymotrypsin-like peptidase activity of the 20S proteasome (excitation max: 360 nm; emission max: 460 nm). Suc-Leu-Tyr-AMC can also be cleaved by the Ti protease from E. coli.

Thiocolchicoside (Muscoril, Myoril, Neoflax) is a muscle relaxant with anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
