The first examples of possible metformin prodrugs have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods. These five different types of chemically stable prodrugs were prepared from metformin and the corresponding halogenated promoieties. The products from unstable derivatives were also identified and reasons for the rearrangements are discussed.

It is reported herein that certain muscle diseases and conditions, including forms of muscular dystrophy, are characterized by impaired insulin-dependent signaling in the muscle tissue, in essence, a form of insulin resistance. The present disclosure relates to therapeutic agents, compositions and methods for treating a muscle disease or condition characterized by impaired insulin-dependent signaling by targeting components of the defective insulin signaling pathway. The disease or condition may be treated by administering a therapeutic agent that activates the insulin signaling pathway, in particular, therapeutic agents that act post-insulin receptor to modulate intracellular effector molecules. An exemplary modulator is metformin. Metformin may be administered alone or may be co-administered with another therapeutic agent for treating the muscle disease or condition, such as a corticosteroid.
