General description

A potent G-selective G-protein antagonist. Suppresses the rate of GTPγS binding to Gsα-s (IC50 = 140 nM) but not in Giα-1. Inhibits stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity in S49 cyc cells (which lack endogenous G) by exogenously added Gsα-s. Also blocks the coupling of β-adrenergic receptors to Gs (EC50 = 7.9 µM). Acts as a reversible competitive antagonist of the human P2X receptor, exhibiting much higher potency at human P2X(1) than at P2X(7) receptors (IC50 = 50 nM vs 40 µM respectively).
A potent Gsα-subunit-selective G-protein antagonist. Suppresses the rate of GTPγS binding to Gsα-s-subunit (IC50 = 140 nM) but not to Giα-1-subunit. Inhibits stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity in S49 cyc- cells (which lack endogenous Gsα-subunit) by exogenously added Gsα-subunit. Also blocks the coupling of β-adrenergic receptors to Gs (EC50 = 7.9 µM).
