8-Br-cAMP

A cell-permeable cAMP analog that is more resistant to hydrolysis by phosphodiesterases than cAMP. Activates protein kinase A, inhibits growth, decreases proliferation, increases differentiation, and induces apoptosis of cultured cells. Also recently shown to improve the reprogramming efficiency of human neonatal foreskin fibroblast (HFF1) cells 2-fold.
