Rp-8-CPT-cAMP is a structural combination of the lipophilic and non-hydrolyzable cAMP analogs, 8-CPT-cyclic AMP and Rp-cyclic AMPS .[1] It functions as a site-selective inhibitor of protein kinase A (PKA) type I and II, with preference towards site A of type I and site B of type II.2 By occupying cAMP binding sites at the regulatory subunit of PKA, Rp-8-CPT-cAMP prevents the kinase holoenzyme from dissociative activation.[2],[3]
Rp-8-CPT-cAMPS is a powerful and competitive antagonist of cAMP-induced activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) I and II. Acting as a potent cAMP analog, Rp-8-CPT-cAMPS exhibits a preference for site A of RI over site A of RII. Additionally, it favors site B of RII over site B of RI. This compound effectively inhibits cAMP-dependent PKA activation and demonstrates selectivity in binding to specific sites within the protein kinase.
Rp-8-bromo-Cyclic AMPS (Rp-8-bromo-cAMPS) is a cell-permeable cAMP analog that combines an exocyclic sulfur substitution in the equatorial position of the cyclophosphate ring with a bromine substitution in the adenine base of cAMP. It acts as an antagonist of cAMP-dependent protein kinases (PKAs) and is resistant to hydrolysis by cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases. Rp-8-bromo-cAMPS more effectively antagonizes cAMP-dependent activation of purified PKA type I from rabbit muscle than PKA type II from bovine heart.
Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) (83-119), rat is a 37 amino acid calcitonin family of neuropeptide, acts through calcitonin receptor-like receptor.
[D-Trp8]-γ-MSH is a selective melanocortin 3 (MC3) receptor agonist (IC50 values are 6.7, 340 and 600 nM for human MC3, MC5 and MC4 receptors respectively). [D-Trp8]-γ-MSH displays anti-inflammatory efficacy.
RP-72540 is a cholecystokinin B receptor antagonist. RP 72540 showed selectivity factors in express of 200 for CCKA versus CCKB receptors and also had high affinity for gastrin binding sites in the stomach. Administration of RP-72540 resulted in a dose-de
