Bucladesine
Based on 49 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Bucladesine (Dibutyryl cAMP; DBcAMP) is a membrane-permeable 3′, 5′-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) analog. Bucladesine selectively activates cAMP dependent protein kinase (PKA) by increasing the intracellular level of cAMP. Bucladesine significantly attenuates MDMA-induced increases in hippocampal mitochondrial ROS formation, mitochondrial outer membrane damage, cytochrome c release, and hippocampal ADP/ATP ratio, thereby improving spatial learning and memory impairments. Bucladesine exhibit anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammation effect. Bucladesine can inhibit cancer cells proliferation, induce apoptosis. Bucladesine can be used for the researches of neurological disease, cancer, inflammation.

Bucladesine causes significant growth delay in multicellular tumor spheroids derived directly from human malignant brain tumors[1].
Bucladesine augments differentiation therapy (in combination with Sodium butyrate (HY-B0350A) and hyperthermia) in human and canine brain tumor cells in vitro[1].
Bucladesine suppresses the mitogenic effects of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and epidermal growth factor (EGF) on human astrocytoma cells; bucladesine alone neither potentiates nor inhibits human astrocytoma cell growth[1].
Bucladesine suppresses proliferation, enhances cytoplasmic process formation, increases cytoplasmic glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) levels, and suppresses malignant glioma invasion by decreasing CD44 isoform expression in cultured malignant glioma cells, inducing biochemical and morphological changes[1].
Bucladesine decreases Bcl-2 levels and enhances SNAP-induced p53-sensitive cell death and MPP+-induced cell death, sensitizing human neuroblastoma cells to apoptosis[1].
Bucladesine inhibits proliferation and induces morphological differentiation of astrocytes in vitro via a cyclic adenosine monophosphate-dependent protein kinase pathway[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Bucladesine (50-300 nM/mouse; i.p.; single dose) exerts a biphasic anti-nociceptive effect on thermal-induced acute pain in male albino mice, with significant activity at 50 and 100 nM/mouse doses, no significant effect at 300 nM/mouse[3].
Bucladesine (0.5-1.5% cream, 5% solution; topical; single or two doses) produces a statistically significant reduction in Arachidonic acid (HY-109590)-induced acute skin inflammation in Mus musculus, with single administration of 1.5% cream yielding a 28% reduction in ear swelling and two administrations yielding a 24% reduction[4].

Significantly reduced MDMA (0.5 and 1 μg/side)-induced mitochondrial membrane potential collapse and mitochondrial swelling.
