ST034307 is an adenylyl cyclase 1 (AC1) inhibitor (IC50 = 2.3 μM), which exhibits some selectivity for AC1 over other AC isoforms.

KH 7 is a selective soluble adenylyl cyclase inhibitor.

SQ22536 is an inhibitor of adenylyl cyclase with an IC50 of 1.4 μM. It can inhibit PGE1-stimulated increases in cAMP levels in intact human platelets.

2',5'-Dideoxyadenosine is a potent and non-competitive adenylyl cyclase inhibitor via binding the P-site with an IC50 of 3 µM . 2',5'-Dideoxyadenosine is a nucleoside analog and exerts a potent antiadrenergic action in heart .

2′,3′-Dideoxyadenosine is a nucleoside analog of deoxyadenosine. It inhibits adenylyl cyclase and may play a key role in the inhibition of tumor progression. It is a potent inhibitor of reverse transcriptase enzyme of HIV.

Bithionol is an anti-parasitic drug and can be used to inhibit solid tumor growth in several preclinical cancer models.

Resveratrol is one of the numerous polyphenolic compounds found in several vegetal sources, has a wide spectrum of targets with IC50 of 0.8, 1, 3.3 and 5 μM for Adenylyl cyclase, IKKβ, DNA polymerase α and δ, respectively.

Forskolin is a ubiquitous activator of eukaryotic adenylyl cyclase (AC) in a wide variety of cell types with binding (IC50=41 nM) to and activation (EC50=0.5 μM) of type I adenylyl cyclase. It is commonly used to raise levels of cAMP in the research of cell physiology.
