Various solvents, including ethanol, are reported to inhibit forskolin-mediated activation of adenylate cyclase. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is the recommended solvent; at a final concentration of 5% or less, little if any inhibition of adenylate cyclase activation will occur. A 50 mM stock solution of forskolin can be prepared by solubilizing 10 mg of forskolin in 488 µL of fresh, high purity, and anhydrous DMSO. After reconstitution, aliquot and freeze at -20°C. The 50 mM stock solution can be diluted 1:100 in DMSO to achieve a 500 µM working stock solution.

General description
Forskolin is a cell permeable diterpenoid isolated from Coleus forskohlii.
Biochem/physiol Actions
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. Forskolin effects calcium currents and inhibits MAP kinase.
