Biological Activity:
Forskolin is a small molecule activator of adenylate cyclase (EC50~5-10 µM) in a rapid and reversible manner, to increase the intracellular levels of cAMP. Forskolin is used in many stem cell differentiation conditions, such as potentiating neuronal differentiation.
How to Use:
- In vitro: Forskolin is used at 10-50 µM final concentration in cell cultures.
- In vivo: Forskolin lowered blood pressure in hypertensive rats by 10 mg/kg oral dosing once per day.
