A-769662 - 25 mg

Activity: AMPK activator . Function/Pharmacology: A potent and reversible AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) allosteric activator. Activates AMPK by binding to the  and  subunits and not the AMP binding site1. EC50=0.8 M for purified rat liver AMPK and inhibits fatty acid biosynthesis in rat hepatocytes IC50=3.2 M2. Inhibits the rate of whole-body fatty acid oxidation, decreases body weight gain, reduces plasma and liver triglycerides and lowers plasma glucose in ob/ob mice2. Inhibits adipocyte differentiation3. Prevents transcriptional activation of Oct4 and establishes a metabolic barrier to induced pluripotent stem cell reprogramming4. Synergizes with AICAR5. Cell permeable. Chemical Name: 4-Hydroxy-3-(2’-hydroxy-[1,1’-biphenyl]-4-yl)-6-oxo-6,7-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carbonitrile
