Lipophilic precursor of
Rp-cAMPS (Cat. No. A 002), a competitive inhibitor of protein kinase A. During metabolic activation by esterases the inhibitor and butyrate are released. Caution: Butyrate was shown to have distinct biological effects! Significantly more lipophilic and membrane-permeant compared to Rp-cAMPS. Resistant against mammalian phosphodiesterases. Detailed technical information and updated reference available for Rp-cAMPS on request. Reference: Vischer et al.,
