Chemical Properties
Off-white powder
Uses
8-Bromoadenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate sodium salt has been used:
- to study its effect on fas and caspase-3 mRNA expression and on P4 production in bovine mid luteal cell culture
- used to treat choriocarcinoma BeWo cell line and study its effect on cell viability, apoptosis and morphological changes in the nuclei
- in superfusion medium for head kidneys stimulation
General Description
8-Bromoadenosine 3′:5′-cyclic monophosphate is a brominated cyclic mononucleotide.
Biological Activity
Cell-permeable cAMP analog; activator of protein kinase A. Also available as part of the PKA Tocriset™ .
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cell-permeable cAMP analog having greater resistance to hydrolysis by phosphodiesterases than cAMP. Activates protein kinase A, inhibits growth, decreases proliferation, increases differentiation, and induces apoptosis of cultured cells.
