O-304

O-304 is a pan-activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). It increases levels of phosphorylated AMPK (pAMPK) without reducing cellular ATP. O-304 suppresses dephosphorylation of AMPKalpha, AMPKbeta, and AMPKgamma trimers at threonine 172 (T172) mediated by protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C) without inhibiting PP2C activity in Wi-38 lung fibroblasts. In vivo, O-304 (100 mg/kg) prevents high-fat diet-induced increases in fasted glucose and plasma insulin levels and development of insulin resistance, as well as increases calf muscle pAMPK levels in mice.Formal Name: 4-chloro-N-[2-[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]-2,3-dihydro-3-oxo-1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-yl]-benzamide.
