Description: A-769662 is a potent, reversible activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK is an αβγ heterotrimer and plays an important role in regulating cellular and whole-body metabolism. A-769662 only activates AMPK heterotrimers containing the β1 subunit. A-769662 activates AMPK through the β subunit carbohydrate-binding module and the γ subunit but not the AMP-binding sites. A-769662 stimulated partially purified rat liver AMPK with an EC50 of 0.8 µM and inhibited fatty acid synthesis in primary rat hepatocytes with an IC50 of 3.2 µM.
Format: White solid or off white solid.
Purity: ≥99%
Solubility: Soluble in DMSO at 33 mg/ml; soluble in ethanol at 5 mg/ml with slight warming; very poorly soluble in water; maximum solubility in plain water is estimated to be about 50-100 µM.
Storage Stability: Store at or below -20°C. Solid form is stable at least 12 months from date of receipt, when stored as directed. Do not store aqueous solutions for more than one day.
Biosafety Level: Not applicable (BSL-1)
