Bucladesine (DC2797; DC-2797; Dibutyryl-cAMP) is a potent and cell-permeable PKA activator and a cAMP analog that mimics the action of endogenous cAMP. It is a cyclic nucleotide derivative (structurally similar to cAMP) and is also a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. Dibutyryl-cAMP preferentially activates cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The products releaes butyrate due to intracellular and extracellular esterase action. Butyrate was shown to have distinct biological effects. The compound is used in a wide variety of research applications because it mimics cAMP and can induce normal physiological responses when added to cells in experimental conditions.

| Enzyme Assay |
PKA assay[2] Cells were washed twice with 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, 0.15 M NaC1, and then scraped from the culture plate in 1 ml of the same buffer. The cells were collected by centrifugation, and then homogenized by brief sonication in cell homogenization buffer [50 mMTris-HC1, pH 7.4, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), 50 mM leupeptin, and 0.1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluorideI. The particulate fraction was removed by centrifugation in a microcentrifuge at 14,000 rpm at 4°Cfor 20 mm. PKA activity was measured in the supernatant by the method ofRoskoski (1983), using the synthetic peptide substrate Leu-Arg-ArgAla-Ser-Leu-Gly (Kemptide). The reaction mixture of 50 ~.tlcontained cell lysate and a final concentration of 25 mM Tris-HC1 buffer (pH7.4), 5 mM magnesium acetate, 5 mM DTT, 5 mM cAMP, 20 ,~iMKemptide, 0.25 mM isobutylmethylxanthine, and 0.1 mM [y- 32P I ATP (200 cpm/pmol), and, when added, 20 ,uM PKA peptide inhibitor 5-24. Reactions were incubatedfor 10 mm at 30°Candterminated by addition of 50 j.tl of 7.5 mM phosphoric acid. Fifty microliters of the reaction mixture was spotted onto a P81 filter and washed five times with 75 mM phosphoric acid and counted as previously described. The difference in activity in the presence versus absence of PKA peptide inhibitor 5-24 was used to calculate PKA activity. PKC assay [2] Cell lysates were prepared as described for thePKA assay. The reaction mixture of 50 j.el contained cell lysate and a final concentration of 25 mM Tris-HC1 buffer (pH 7.4), 5 mM magnesium acetate, 5 mM DTT, 20 ~.tM synthetic substrate (Pro-Leu-Ser-Arg-Thr-Leu-Ser-Val-Ala-Ala-LysLys), 0.25 mM isobutylmethyixanthine, and 0.1 mM [y32p] ATP (200 cpm/pmol). Reactions were incubated for 10 mm at 30°C,terminated with phosphoric acid, and analyzed as described for the PKA assay. As a control, the specific PKC peptide inhibitor 19-36, at 20 1.tM was used and shown to inhibit the activity in cell extracts by >90%. |

| Additional Infomation |
Bucladesine is a 3',5'-cyclic purine nucleotide that is the 2'-butanoate ester and 6-N-butanoyl derivative of 3',5'-cyclic AMP. It has a role as an agonist, a vasodilator agent and a cardiotonic drug. It is a butyrate ester, a 3',5'-cyclic purine nucleotide and a member of butanamides. It is functionally related to a 3',5'-cyclic AMP. A cyclic nucleotide derivative that mimics the action of endogenous CYCLIC AMP and is capable of permeating the cell membrane. It has vasodilator properties and is used as a cardiac stimulant. (From Merck Index, 11th ed) |
