Colforsin (NKH477) is a water-soluble forskolin derivative. NKH477, like forskolin, showed adenylate cyclase stimulant activity in guinea pig ventricular membrane but did not inhibit Na+, K(+)-ATPase or phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity. The compound was developed by a Japanese company Nippon Kayaku. Colforsin daropate, a prodrug of colforsin, is marketed in Japan for the treatment of acute heart failure under tradename Adehl.

Destomycin A is an aminoglycoside antibiotic and is reported to have antibacterial and anthelmintic activity. It has an antibacterial effect on Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and fungi. The mode of action of destomycin A is the inhibition of polypeptide synthesis in cells of Escherichia coli and stimulation of adenylate cyclase in several animal tissues. Destomycin A is added to feed for pigs and chickens to prevent parasitic infection of Ascaris suum (the mechanism of action involves inhibition of vitelline coat formation of the parasite eggs.)

2',5'-dideoxyadenosine (DDA), a P-site specific adenylate cyclase inhibitor, inhibited the growth of K562 cells and caused them to become benzidine positive. Adenine, a possible metabolite of DDA digestion by purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP), also induced erythroid differentiation in K562 cells.

Oxypertine (Equipertine, Forit, Integrin, Lanturil, Lotawin, Opertil) is a neuroleptic drug and was originally introduced as a treatment for schizophrenia in the 1960s. Oxypertine is an indole derivative with general properties similar to those of the phenothiazine, chlorpromazine. It has been given by mouth in the treatment of various psychoses including schizophrenia, mania, and disturbed behaviour, and of severe anxiety. Like reserpine and tetrabenazine, oxypertine depletes catecholamines, though not serotonin, possibly underlying its neuroleptic efficacy. The molecular structure is strongly similar to solypertine and milipertine.

Calcium dobesilate (brand name Doxium) is a veno-tonic drug, which is widely prescribed in more than 60 countries from Europe, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East for three main indications: chronic venous disease, diabetic retinopathy and the symptoms of haemorrhoidal attack. This drugs also in the phase III of clinical trial is an effective adjuvant therapy, with an absence of significant side-effects, in patients with venous ulcers and stasis dermatitis. It was suggested, that the inhibitory effect of calcium dobesilate on platelet function is mediated through the cyclic AMP pathway, and probably through activation of adenyl cyclase.

Colforsin daropate (a derivative of Colforsin) is cardiotonic, adenylate cyclase activator. It is reported as an ingredient of Adehl in Japan. Colforsin daropate hydrochloride is used for the treatment of acute heart failure. Colforsin daropate is capable of directly stimulating adenylate cyclase, which in turn causes vasorelaxation via elevated intracellular concentrations of cyclic adenosine monophosphate, making it a useful therapeutic tool in treating cerebral vasospasm.
