In search of novel water soluble forskolin analogues for positive inotropic activity

Bioorg Med Chem. 1998 Nov;6(11):2075-83. doi: 10.1016/s0968-0896(98)00124-2.

Abstract

Using the novel lead from hydroxy acetyl substituted forskolin analogues, such as 7 beta-hydroxyacetyl-7 beta-deacetyl forskolin or 6 beta-hydroxyacetyl forskolin, a number of water soluble omega-amino acyl derivatives were synthesized. Two such compounds 6 and 18 showed better in vitro activity but failed to show in vivo activity.
