Forskolin is a cell-permeable diterpenoid that possesses anti-hypertensive, positive inotropic, and adenylyl cyclase activating properties. Many of its biological effects are due to its activation of adenylyl cyclase and the resulting increase in intracellular cAMP concentration. Cyclic AMP is a signaling molecule and key regulator of critical enzymes in cellular processes^. Forskolin has also been shown to effect calcium currents and inhibit MAP kinase.
