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.

Discover Bioactive Small Molecules for Cyclic Nucleotides

Cyclic nucleotides, including cyclic AMP (cAMP), cyclic GMP (cGMP) and cyclic ADP-ribose, have been extensively studied as second messengers of intracellular events initiated by activation of GPCRs. cAMP modifies cell function in all eukaryotic cells, principally through the activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), but also through cAMP-gated ion channels and guanine nucleotide exchange factors directly activated by cAMP.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
