Forskolin, a potent activator of the adenylate cyclase (EC50: 0.5 μM), can increase the cAMP level. It is extracted from the plant Coleus forskohlii.
Natural forskolin is primarily extracted from the root tissues of the plant Coleus forskohlii and holds significant medicinal value. It is known to exhibit favorable pharmacological activities in areas such as anti-cancer, anti-viral, anti-asthmatic, anti-hypertensive, and cardiac strengthening. As a cAMP activator, it has been used as a valuable tool to reveal the significance of cAMP in various cellular events across different organs, potentially providing more therapeutic targets for treating diseases.
In the cardiovascular system, the cAMP signaling pathway plays a role in regulating processes such as heart contraction and relaxation. In the nervous system, the activation of the cAMP signaling pathway can promote synaptic transmission in neurons and enhance memory formation. In metabolic-related diseases like diabetes and obesity, the regulatory effects of the cAMP signaling pathway are associated with insulin secretion and energy metabolism.
The cAMP signaling pathway also plays a crucial role in regulating the immune system. In T cells, the activation of the cAMP signaling pathway inhibits cell activation, contributing to immune tolerance. In macrophages, the activation of the cAMP signaling pathway suppresses the production of nitric oxide, serving as an anti-inflammatory effect.

Forskolin, as a direct, rapid, and reversible activator of adenylate cyclase, increases cellular cAMP levels. Intracellular cAMP serves as a secondary messenger involved in various physiological processes such as cell differentiation, proliferation, metabolic regulation, and inflammatory responses. The known signaling pathways of cAMP primarily transmit signals through the activation of protein kinase A (PKA). cAMP molecules can bind to two cAMP-binding domains in the subunits of PKA, releasing its two subunits, activating PKA, and phosphorylating downstream target proteins. Additionally, the cAMP signaling pathway includes membrane receptors (ion channels), Epac, and others. The cAMP signaling pathway plays a crucial role in maintaining normal physiological functions, growth and development processes, metabolic regulation, and inflammatory responses.
