Colforsin daropate is a carboxylic ester derived from the condensation of forskolin (colforsin) with N,N-dimethyl-β-alanine.[1]

Its water-soluble hydrochloride salt (NKH 477)[2] is an adenylyl cyclase activator which has been studied for its cardiac selectivity.[3][4]

Its parent compound forskolin (colforsin) is also used to raise levels of cAMP in the study of cell physiology.[5]
