In the case of forskolin, it is the opposite: it activates adenylate
cyclase, thereby INCREASING intracellular cAMP. A useful reference:
Seamon et al., 1981 "Forskolin: Unique Diterpene Activator of
Adenylate Cyclase in Membranes and in Intact Cells" PNAS 78:3363.
I have never heard of the other one.
