Luteolin 7-sulfate, derived from the marine plant Phyllospadix iwatensis Makino, suppresses TYR gene expression by intervening in a signaling pathway involving the cAMP-responsive element binding protein (CREB) and microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF). This inhibition ultimately leads to a decrease in melanin synthesis.
6-Bnz-cAMP is a PKA-selective activator. It regulates the PKA dependent signaling pathways. The proliferative signaling pathway which activated by the 6-Bnz-cAMP involves activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor and ERK1/2. Extending the duratio
SW106 is a selective antagonist of PTHR1-mediated cAMPsignaling, not functioning as an inverse agonist on either PTHR1-T410P or PTHR1-H223R, which have activating mutations at the cytoplasmic ends of TMD helices-2 and -6, respectively.
CG500354 plays a tumor suppressive role through the cAMP CREB signaling pathway and is a novel inducer of neural differentiation and growth arrest in primary HUMAN GBM derived cells.
Skyrin is a fungal metabolite characterized by a bisanthraquinone structure. It interferes with glucagon signaling through adenylate cyclase without binding to the glucagon receptor. At 10 μM, skyrin reduces both glucagon-stimulated cAMP production and glycogenolysis. It does not interfere with epinephrine or glucagon-like peptide 1 effects on these parameters.[1] Reference:[1].

L-858,051 is a water-soluble analog of forskolin , a cell-permeant activator of adenylate cyclase. L-858,051 activates adenylate cyclase (EC50 = 3 μM), inhibits glucose transport, and blocks cytochalasin B binding in rat adipocyte membranes. L-858,051 is used to activate adenylate cyclase and initiate signaling through elevated cAMP synthesis in a variety of cell types in culture.
FFA2 allosteric agonist. Inhibits forskolin-induced cAMP increase and stimulates 35SGTPγS binding in biochemical assays (pEC50 values are 6.9 and 7.23, respectively). Binds at allosteric binding site. In functional assays, displays positive allosteric modulation of FFA-induced Gi signaling and negative allosteric modulation of FFA-induced Gq/G11 signaling. Inhibits lipolytic effect of isoproterenol (pEC50 = 5.03) and induces migration of human neutrophils in vitro.

Hcyb1 is a potent and specific inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 2 (PDE2). It exhibits a high degree of selectivity for inhibiting PDE2A with an IC50 value of 0.57 μM. In addition, Hcyb1 displays over 250-fold selectivity against other recombinant members of the PDE family. Moreover, its pharmacological actions include neuroprotective and antidepressant-like effects, which are believed to be mediated through the cAMP cGMP-CREB-BDNF signaling pathway [1].
Wnt signaling is required for direct multiple biological processes and also plays key roles in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB) is a transcription factor that is a member of the leucine zipper family of DNA binding proteins. This protein binds as a homodimer to the cAMP-responsive element, an octameric palindrome. The protein is phosphorylated by several protein kinases, and induces transcription of genes in response to hormonal stimulation of the cAMP pathway. Via generating a transcriptionally active complex with β-catenin, CREB acts as a mediator of Wnt signaling.ICG-001 is an inhibitor of β-catenin CREB mediated transcription. The direct cellular target of ICG-001 is CREB. the inhibitory IC50of ICG-001 against β-catenin CREB mediated transcription was 3 μM. ICG-001 treatment at the concentration of 25 μM for 24h significantly increased caspase activity in both colon cancer cell lines SW480 and HCT116 cell lines but not in normal colonic epithelial cells CCD-841Co. In a cell growth inhibition assay, the IC50s of ICG-001 against SW480 and HCT116 cells were 4.43 μM and 5.95 μM, respectively.In a SW620 nude mouse xenograft model, an water-soluble analog of ICG-001 given at the dose of 150 mg kg i.v. once in every 2 days dramatically suppressed tumor growth. In a bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis mice model, ICG-001 given at the dose of 5 mg kg per day reversed pulmonary fibrosis. In a rat myocardial infarction model, ICG-001 was administrated subcutaneously at the dose of 50 mg kg day for 10 days which significantly improved cardiac contractile function after myocardial infarction in the rats.
