KT5720 is a potent and selective inhibitor of protein kinase A (PKA), acting through competitive inhibition. It does not significantly affect PKC, PKG, or mlCK, making it a valuable tool for studying PKA-specific signaling pathways. In neuroscience, KT5720 is used to investigate the role of PKA in synaptic plasticity, memory formation, and neuronal survival. It is also employed in studies of cell cycle regulation and neuroprotection, particularly in models of neurodegenerative disease.

Need this compound in a format that drops straight into your assay? We can tailor formulation, chemistry, and documentation so your results stay consistent across runs and re-orders.
- Format options: solid or pre-dissolved solution (choose solvent), target concentration, aliquots, light/moisture-protected packaging
- Chemistry options: free base/acid vs salt forms, hydrate/solvate preference, stereoisomer control (single enantiomer or racemate), close analogs
- Add-on labels & handles: D/¹³C/¹⁵N isotopes (LC-MS/internal standards), azide/alkyne or other functional handles for conjugation
- QC & documentation: standard COA or enhanced analytical pack (HPLC/LC-MS/NMR), chiral purity, residual solvents, water content (KF), method-specific specs
- Scale & continuity: mg to gram scale, bulk pricing, lot reservation, repeat-order continuity
To quote quickly, tell us: compound name + CAS/structure (SMILES or mol file), intended assay context, solvent preference, salt/stereochemistry requirements, purity/QC level, and the amount (mg–g).
