Plectranthus barbatus (also called coleus forskohlii, plectranthus forskohlii, and coleus barbatus) is a tropical perennial plant related to the coleus species. It is interesting from a scientific and medicinal standpoint because it produces forskolin.
Forskolin is a labdane diterpene that is produced by the plant Plectranthus barbatus. Forskolin is commonly used to raise levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP) in the study and research of cell physiology. Forskolin resensitizes cell receptors by activating the enzyme adenylyl cyclase and increasing the intracellular levels of cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cyclic AMP or cAMP). Cyclic AMP is an important signal carrier that is necessary for the proper biological response of cells to hormones and other extracellular signals. It is required for cell communication in the hypothalamus/pituitary gland axis and for the feedback control of hormones.

Usage:
Forskolin is a vasodilator.
There have been two clinical studies examining the effectiveness of forskolin as a weight loss aid. Neither have yet been subject to peer-review or published in a medical journal.
Forskolin may be helpful to control the underlying cause of glaucoma. The sometimes successful use of forskolin to reduce intraocular pressure may be due to its unique ability to stimulate adenylate cyclase activity and increase cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) which regulates and activates critical enzymes required for the cellular energy required to move fluid out of the eye.
Increase skin's natural resistance to burning under UV light stimulates a tanning response when applied topically.
Forskolin can also be used to promote nerve repair by increasing cAMP concetrations. Forskolin can activate or upregulate the proliferation of Schwan cells in culture, together with Fibroblast growth factor or Transforming Growth Factor-Beta. Furthermore, Forskolin is known to act via G-protein-coupled receptors. |
