Chemical Name: 8-(4-Chlorophenylthio)-2-O-methyladenosine-3,5-cyclic monophosphate, acetoxymethyl ester
Epac activator
Molecular Weight:
557.91
Purity:
97% by HPLC
Form:
solid
CAS Number:
[1152197-23-3]
Formula:
C20H21ClN5O8PS
Application Notes:
A potent, cell-permeable Epac (exchange protein directly activated by cAMP) activator1. Induces RAP1 activation and insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cell lines2-5. Induces vascular relaxation in rat mesenteric artery6. The acetoxymethyl ester confers increased cell-permeability and is cleaved by endogenous esterases to yield the active compound, 8-pCPT-2-O-Me-cAMP. Addition to cell cultures should be done in serum-free media as esterases in serum will cleave the acetoxymethyl ester and reduce cell permeability.
