What is forskolin?

Forskolin is a natural compound extracted from the roots of the plant Coleus forskohlii, which belongs to the mint family. It has been used for centuries in traditional herbal medicine

How does it work?

Forskolin is known for its effect on a cellular process involving a molecule called cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate). By increasing cAMP levels, it can influence several functions in the body.
Forskolin directly activates adenylyl cyclase wherever the enzyme is expressed in the cell, rather than relying on receptor-mediated pathways.
It also increases energy demand for the growth plates
Stimulates IGF1 synthesis
Increases membrane water permeability in cells.
Inhibits degradation of the growth plate extracellular matrix.
Increases sox9 and cGMP
Shown to increase testostrone as cAMP uses LH and FSH


Why does this matter?

First you need to understand PTHrP

What is PTHrp and how does it affect bone maturation?

PTHrP binds to the PTH1R receptor, causing a conformational change that activates heterotrimeric Gs proteins. These Gs proteins then stimulate adenylyl cyclase (AC), leading to the production of cAMP.
PTH1R. This phosphorylation recruits β-arrestin, which facilitates internalization of the receptor via clathrin-coated pits. Once internalized, PTH1R remains associated with PTHrP and Gs proteins, allowing continued activation of endosomal AC6 and sustained cAMP generation. AKAPs then position PKA near the nucleus. cAMP binds to the cyclic nucleotide–binding domains on the regulatory (R) subunits of PKA, causing release of the catalytic (C) subunits. These catalytic subunits phosphorylate SIK1/2/3, enabling HDAC4 to access its binding sites.


PKA-mediated phosphorylation inhibits SIKs, creating docking sites for 14-3-3 proteins. This interaction relocates SIKs to the cytoplasm, preventing them from inhibiting HDAC4/5. PP2A removes phosphate groups from HDAC4, allowing it to bind DNA and suppress the MEF2 gene (where MEF2 promotes maturation).


After this stage, CREB (cAMP response element-binding protein) is phosphorylated by PKA and binds directly to the SOX9 promoter. It also recruits p300, promoting chromatin accessibility for SOX9 and collagen type II (Col2) aggregation. Additionally, CREB recruits p300 to the Zfp521 gene promoter, increasing its mRNA expression. Elevated Zfp521 further inhibits maturation by binding to and inactivating Runx2, a key gene involved in maturation.
Overall, PTHrP signaling delays hypertrophic differentiation and plays a key role in regulating the timing of bone maturation.

Forskolins overall effect

Overall, it dramatically lowers the amount of PTH needed to trigger a cAMP response by up to 30–100×, indicating an increase in cellular sensitivity.
