The use of Cyclopiazonic acid on Langendorff-perfused murine hearts displayed anti-arrhythmic effects. Also, administration of cyclopiazonic acid on rat soleus muscle showed a decrease in hormone sensitive lipase activity and triacylglycerol hydrolysis. It is also used as an inhibitor of endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
