Biochem/physiol Actions

Cell permeable: yes
Primary Target
cAMP and cGMP phosphodiesterases
Product does not compete with ATP.
Reversible: no
Target IC50: 2-50 µM against cAMP and cGMP phosphodiesterases

Preparation Note

Following reconstitution in ethanol or methanol, refrigerate (4°C). Following reconstitution in DMSO, aliquot and freeze (-20°C). Ethanol/methanol and DMSO stock solutions are stable for up to 6 months at 4°C or -20°C, respectively.
Heating may be required to achieve complete solubilization.
