adenylyl cyclase

Forskolin (Coleonol) is a natural product, an adenylate cyclase activator (EC50=0.5 μM). Forskolin increases cAMP levels, activates PXR and FXR, and induces autophagy. Forskolin produces positive inotropic effects in the heart, and has platelet anticoagulant and antihypertensive effects.

Resveratrol (SRT 501) is a polyphenolic natural product, a plant antitoxin with antioxidant and chemopreventive activities. Resveratrol has a wide range of targets including COX, SIRT, LOC, etc. Resveratrol induces autophagy and apoptosis.

NKH477 (Colforsin dapropate hydrochloride) is a derivative of forskolin with antidepressant activity. It inhibits ACh-induced Ca2+ mobilization by acting on ionomycin-sensitive storage sites. NKH477 is an adenylyl cyclase activator with bronchodilatory effects, inhibiting the production of CTL, T-cell proliferation in mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLR), as well as IL-2 production and mitogen responses.

Lysipressin ([Lys8]-Vasopressin), Induces contraction of the rabbit urinary bladder smooth muscle, activate adenylate-cyclase. Lysipressin is Antidiuretic hormone that have been found in pigs and some marsupial families.
