Description

A cell-permeable benzopyran compound that stimulates both LKB1 and CaMKK-mediated AMPK activity indirectly with no noticeable effect on purified AMPK, cellular AMP/ATP ratio, PI 3-K/Akt signaling and respiratory chain, and displays antidiabetic and antiobesity properties. Shown to induce phosphorylation of AMPK-Thr172 and ACC-Ser79 in L6 cells (EC50 = 4.3 µ,M), C2C12 myocytes, 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and HepG2 hepatic cells, and enhance glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity in high fat-diet-induced obesity mouse model (10 mg/kg, s.c.) with the lowering of cholesterol and nonesterified fatty acids.
