Application

4-(3-Butoxy-4-methoxybenzyl)imidazolidin-2-one has been used:
  • as a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) phosphodiesterase inhibitor to treat cells for the determination of intracellular cAMP levels
  • as a component of serum-free medium
  • as phosphodiesterase inhibitor in order to study the effects of protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) activation on cAMP levels

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inhibitor of cAMP phosphodiesterase. IC50 33 μM in vascular smooth muscle of the aorta.

Cyclic nucleotides like cAMP modulate cell function via PKA activation and ion channels.

고리형 AMP(cAMP), 고리형 GMP(cGMP), 고리형 ADP-리보스를 포함하여 고리형 뉴클레오타이드는 GPCR 활성화에 의해 개시된 세포내 이벤트의 2차 전달자로서 광범위하게 연구되었습니다. cAMP는 주로 cAMP 의존성 단백질 인산화효소(PKA)의 활성화를 통해 모든 진핵생물 세포에서 세포 기능을 변형시키지만 cAMP 개폐 이온 채널 및 cAMP에 의해 직접 활성화되는 구아닌 뉴클레오타이드 교환 인자를 통해서도 변형시킵니다.
