The AMPK Activator, also referenced under CAS 849727-81-7, modulates the biological activity of AMPK. This small molecule/inhibitor is primarily used for Activators/Inducers applications.
Synonym(s):
AMPK Activator, 5-(3-(4-(2-(4-Fluorophenyl)ethoxy)phenyl)propyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid, D942, AMPK Signaling Activator I
A cell-permeable furancarboxylic acid compound that activates celular AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity by inhibiting mitochondrial complex I, and thus elevating intracellular AMP level. Shown to enhance glucose uptake in L6 myocytes (EC50 = 11.7 µM). Reduces blood glucose levels in ZDF rats in vivo (oral dose 30-100 mg/kg). Displays negligible cytotoxicity at pharmacological doses.
