Discovery and SAR development of thienopyridones: A class of small molecule AMPK activators
摘要:
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is well established as a sensor and regulator of intracellular and whole-body energy metabolism. A high-throughput screen was performed in order to identify chemotypes that are bound by AMPK. A novel thienopyridone compound (1) was identified and subsequently optimized. The structure-activity relationships that emerged from this effort are described. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
