Description

Descrição geral

Forskolin, present predominantly in the root of Coleus forskohlii plant, is a potential pharmacological compound. It is used for treating hypertension, respiratory disorders and obesity. Forskolin is a diterpenoid capable of modulating adenylate cyclase enzyme and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels. Engineering forskolin biosynthetic pathway caters its commercial production for pharmacological use. Forskolin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory property and reduces hyperglycemia by stimulating insulin release. Forskolin promotes differentiation of hepatoma HepaRG cells and activates farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and pregnane X receptor(PXR).

Aplicação

Forskolin has been used:

• for inducing mRNA expression in primary hepatocytes.
• as a defatting drug in primary human hepatocytes.
• as a medium supplement to induce differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs).
• in the activation of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene.

Embalagem

10, 25, 50 mg in poly bottle

Ações bioquímicas/fisiológicas

Cell-permeable diterpenoid that possesses anti-hypertensive, positive inotropic, and adenylyl cyclase activating properties. Many of its biological effects are due to its activation of adenylyl cyclase and the resulting increase in intracellular cAMP concentration. Forskolin effects calcium currents and inhibits MAP kinase.
