Membrane-permeant precursor of the PDE-resistant protein kinase A activator Sp-8-Br-cAMPS (
Cat. No. B 002). Metabolic bioactivation by esterases releases the active analogue, which is trapped inside the cell. Chemical hydrolysis can produce some 8-Br-cAMP as well. Detailed technical information available. Compare: Maronde et al.,

Phosphate tris(acetoxymethyl)ester (PO
4-AM
3,
Cat. No. P 030) which is recommended as control reagent in nucleotide-AM ester applications.
