Biological properties of griseolic acid, a cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor with an adenine group. 1985

Y Iijima, and F Nakagawa, and S Handa, and T Oda, and A Naito, and M Yamazaki

Griseolic acid inhibited cAMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) at low concentrations, the I50 being of the order of 0.01-0.1 microM. Administration of griseolic acid to rats increased the cAMP level in liver and plasma several-fold. It increased glycogen degradation in mouse liver and stimulated lipolysis in isolated rat fat cells. Griseolic acid did not block the adenosine-elicited accumulation of cAMP in guinea pig brain slices. It had no effect on cAMP-dependent protein kinase from rat liver nor on the adenyl cyclase from rat brain.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008066 Lipolysis The metabolic process of breaking down LIPIDS to release FREE FATTY ACIDS, the major oxidative fuel for the body. Lipolysis may involve dietary lipids in the DIGESTIVE TRACT, circulating lipids in the BLOOD, and stored lipids in the ADIPOSE TISSUE or the LIVER. A number of enzymes are involved in such lipid hydrolysis, such as LIPASE and LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE from various tissues. Lipolyses
D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D002540 Cerebral Cortex The thin layer of GRAY MATTER on the surface of the CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES that develops from the TELENCEPHALON and folds into gyri and sulci. It reaches its highest development in humans and is responsible for intellectual faculties and higher mental functions.
