Application

8-Bromoguanosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate sodium salt has been used: as a cyclic guanosine 3’;:5’;-monophosphate (cGMP) agonist in the collapse assay in retinal ganglion axons(10) as a component of reaction buffer in in vitro kinase activity assay of recombinant protein kinase (PKG)(11) as a cyclic nucleotide analog for the induction of cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (CNGA and CNGC) expression in human embryonic kidney cells(12)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cell-permeable cGMP analog having greater resistance to hydrolysis by phosphodiesterases than cGMP. Activates cGMP-dependent protein kinase. Slows or inhibits the intracellular calcium oscillations of tracheal smooth muscle cells in response to acetylcholine. Reported to mimic the effect of nitric oxide generating drugs.

It slows or inhibits the intracellular calcium oscillations of tracheal smooth muscle cells in response to acetylcholine. 8-Bromoguanosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate sodium salt mimics the effect of nitric oxide generating drugs. It modulates circadian rhythms and increases optic nerve impulses. In the eye 8-Bromoguanosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate may favour transduction of non-R-type photoreceptors.
