A-769662 is a potent, β1 subunit-selective, allosteric drug and metabolite (ADaM) site AMPK activator (α1β1γ1 EC50/Emax = 0.15 μM/1.99 vs. 4.51 μM/2.19 with AMP) that promotes a Thr172 phosphorylation in a β1 carbohydrate binding module (CBM) Ser108 phosphorylation-dependent manner. A769662 synergizes with AMP as well as C2 (AMP mimetic) toward Thr172 dephosphorylated/Ser108 phosphorylated AMPK. A-769662 is widely employed in probing AMPK β1 complexes-mediated cellular signaling in cultures (conc range: 1 μM-1 mM) as well as AMPK-dependent physiological and pathological processes in mice and rats in vivo (dosing range: 1-30 mg/kg i.p.).
Potent, β1-selective, allosteric drug and metabolite (ADaM) site AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activator in cultures and in vivo.
Metformin is a first-line therapeutic option for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, even though its underlying mechanisms of action are relatively unclear. Metformin lowers blood glucose levels by inhibiting hepatic glucose production (HGP), an effect originally postulated to be

Metformin, a hypoglycemic drug used for treatment of type 2 diabetes, regulates inflammatory pathways. By using several models of intestinal inflammation, we examined whether metformin exerts anti-inflammatory effects and investigated the basic mechanism by which metformin blocks pathologic signals. Colitic
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a highly prevalent component of disorders associated with disrupted energy homeostasis. Although dysregulation of the energy sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is viewed as a pathogenic factor in the development of fatty liver its role
Due to the exclusive maternal transmission, oocyte mitochondrial dysfunction reduces fertility rates, affects embryonic development, and programs offspring to metabolic diseases. However, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are vulnerable to mutations during oocyte maturation, leading to mitochondrial nucleotide variations (mtSNVs) within a
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key sensor and regulator of intracellular and whole-body energy metabolism. We have identified a thienopyridone family of AMPK activators. A-769662 directly stimulated partially purified rat liver AMPK (EC50 = 0.8 microM) and inhibited fatty
