Identification of a Novel, Small Molecule Partial Agonist for the Cyclic AMP Sensor, EPAC1

Abstract Screening of a carefully selected library of 5,195 small molecules identified 34 hit compounds that interact with the regulatory cyclic nucleotide-binding domain (CNB) of the cAMP sensor, EPAC1. Two of these hits (I942 and I178) were selected for their robust and reproducible inhibitory eff...
