Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

NKH477 is a potent activator of adenylyl cyclase. NKH477 shows some selectivity for cardiac (type V) adenylyl cyclase. NKH477 stimulates bronchodilation (EC50 = 32.6 nM) and is an orally active potent positive chronotrope and hypotensive agent in vivo.

Product Data
Biological target:
NKH477 (Colforsin dapropate hydrochloride) directly activates the catalytic unit of adenylate cyclase.
In vitro activity:
NKH477 is a direct adenylate cyclase activator derived from forskolin and now under clinical investigation as a positive inotropic agent. Addition of NKH477 to the culture medium suppressed the generation of CTL, T cell proliferation in MLR, and production of IL-2 in MLR and in mitogen response. Reference: Clin Immunol Immunopathol. 1996 Apr;79(1):25-35. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8612348/
In vivo activity:
Left lungs were transplanted orthotopically from Brown-Norway donors to Lewis recipients. Recipient rats were untreated or treated daily with different doses of NKH477. NKH477 significantly extended allograft survival time in a dose-dependent manner and reduced histopathological rejection. Treatment with NKH477 inhibited IFN-gamma and IL-10 expression, whereas expression of these cytokines were markedly upregulated in the untreated allografts.
