Notes: A-769662 is a small molecule thienopyridone that activates AMPK directly in cell-free assays (EC50 = 116 nM) and intact cells by allosterically activating AMPK and inhibiting its dephosphorylation on Thr172.{22445,22447} A-769662 specifically activates β1 subunit-containing AMPK heterotrimers, and its effects are independent of kinases upstream of AMPK.{22445,22448} A-769662 has been used to stimulate CYP450-mediated fatty acid oxidation, inhibit adipocyte differentiation, explore glucose uptake in skeletal muscle, and promote endothelial cell survival during metabolic stress.{22448,22444,22450,22449,22446}
