2D Structure

An image of the ligand's 2D structure. For small molecules with SMILES these are drawn using the NCI/CADD Chemical Identifier Resolver. Click on the image to access the chemical structure search tool with the ligand pre-loaded in the structure editor. For other types of ligands, e.g. longer nucleotides and peptides, a manually drawn representation of the molecule may be provided.

Physico-chemical Properties

Calculated molecular properties are available for small molecules and natural products (not peptides). Properties were generated using the Chemistry Development Kit (CDK) (Willighagen EL et al. Journal of Cheminformatics vol. 9:33. 2017, doi:10.1186/s13321-017-0220-4; https://cdk.github.io/). All properties were selected to enable the prediction of the Lipinski Rule-of-Five profile or ‘druglikeness’ for each ligand. For more info on each category see the help pages.

SMILES / InChI / InChIKey

SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry Specification) A specification for unambiguously describing the structure of chemical molecules using short ASCII strings. Canonical SMILES specify a unique representation of the 2D structure without chiral or isotopic specifications. Isomeric SMILES include chiral specification and isotopes.

Standard InChI (IUPAC International Chemical Identifier) and InChIKey InChI is a non-proprietary, standard, textual identifier for chemical substances designed to facilitate linking of information and database searching. An InChIKey is a simplified version of a full InChI, designed for easier web searching.

Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
It is postulated that activation of AMPK may have clinical potential for correcting defects in the insulin signaling cascade in patients with type 2 diabetes [5,7]. There are no active clinical trials registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (May 2014)
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
5' AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a trimeric protein complex containing an α, a β, and a γ subunit. In humans there are genes for 2 α, 2 β and 3 γ protein isoforms. AMPK activation regulates many metabolic pathways, including hepatic ketogenesis, cholesterol synthesis, lipogenesis [3], triglyceride synthesis, adipocyte lipolysis, skeletal muscle fatty acid oxidation [4], and is potentially involved in insulin secretion and contraction-induced glucose uptake in muscle cells [2,6].
