Synonyms: 6-(3-dimethylaminopropionyl) forskolin hydrochloride | colforsin dapropate hydrochloride | NKH-477
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: NKH477 is a water-soluble adenylyl cyclase activator [1]. It is a derivative of forskolin. NKH477 is used experimentally as the hydrochloride salt. Relative to forskolin, NKH477 activates cardiac adenylyl cyclase more potently than the adenylyl cyclases from other tissues (lung, brain, and kidney) [3].
