GKA50 stimulates insulin release from mouse islets of Langerhans and MIN6 cells. GKA50 shows significant glucose lowering in highfat fed female rats. GKA50 is a potent glucokinase activator (EC50=33 nM at 5 mM glucose).
p-nitro-Pifithrin-α is a cell-permeable analog of pifithrin-α, a potent p53 inhibitor. It suppresses p53-mediated TGF-β1 expression in HK-2 cells and inhibits the activation of caspase-3 by Zika virus (ZIKV) strains. Moreover, p-nitro-Pifithrin-α attenuates steatosis and liver injury in mice subjected to a high-fat diet, mitigating the effects of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [1] [2] [3] [4].
AM7499 is a non-selective cannabinoid receptor agonist with remarkably high in vitro and in vivo potency. It is readily hydrolysed by plasma esterases and to be less prone to deposition in bodily fat than existing classical cannabinoid agonists.
TA-1887 is a new type of selective inhibitor of sglt2 for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It has a significant hypoglycemic effect in KK (HF-KK) mice fed a high-fat diet. TA-1887 has good pharmacokinetic characteristics and significantly increases UGE
YW1128 is an inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin signaling with an IC50 value of 4.1 nM in a reporter assay.1 It decreases protein levels of β-catenin in the presence of the GSK3β inhibitor lithium chloride and increases protein levels of Axin1 in HEK293 cells. YW1128 decreases lipid accumulation and the expression of gluconeogenic and lipogenic genes in Huh7 cells. It decreases the hepatic expression of Wnt target genes, improves glucose tolerance, and prevents body weight increases and hepatic lipid accumulation in mice fed a high-fat diet, but not mice fed normal chow, when administered at a dose of 40 mg/kg every other day for 11 weeks.References1.
