Description

A cell-permeable isoquinoline derivative that acts as a specific AMP competitive inhibitor of AMP deaminase (IC50 = 38, 27, and 24 nM for human, rat, and mice, respectively). Potentiates low frequency electrical stimulation induced increase in AMP level, AMP:ATP ratio, and phosphorylation of AMPK (at Thr172), and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (at Ser218) in contracting rat epitrochlearis muscle. However, it does not affect basal AMPK activity and contraction-stimulated glucose uptake. Preincubation with this compound reduces basal IMP levels, but does affect the contraction-induced increases in IMP, adenosine, and inosine in any appreciable manner.
