AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK) regulates the coordination of anabolic and catabolic processes and is an attractive therapeutic target for T2DM, obesity and metabolic syndrome. We report the anti-hyperglycemic and anti-hyperlipidemic effects of CNX-012-570 is an orally bioavailable small molecule (molecular weight of 530 Daltons) that directly activates AMPK in DIO and db/db animal models of diabetes.
Activity and efficacy of the compound was tested in cell based as well as cell free systems in vitro. Male C57BL/6 mice fed with high fat diet (HFD) were assigned to either vehicle or CNX-012-570 (3 mg/kg, orally once a day) for 8 weeks (n = 8). Genetically diabetic db/db mice on chow diet were dosed with vehicle control or CNX-012-570 (2.5 mg/kg, orally once a day) for 6 weeks (n = 8).
CNX-012-570 is a highly potent and orally bioavailable compound activating AMPK in both cell and cell free systems. It inhibits lipolysis (33%) and gluconeogenesis (28%) in 3T3L1 cells and rat primary hepatocytes respectively. The efficacy of the molecule was translated to both DIO and db/db animal models of diabetes. CNX-012-570 has reduced fasting blood glucose levels by 14%, body weight by 24% and fasting serum triglycerides (TG) by 24%. CNX-012-570 showed a 22% reduction in fed serum cholesterol levels and 19% increase in HDL levels.In db/db mice model, CNX-012-570 has shown 18% decrease in fed glucose and 32% decrease in fasting glucose with a 2.57% reduction in absolute HbA1c. Decrease in serum insulin and glucose AUC indicates the increased insulin sensitivity. Body weight was reduced by 13% with increased browning of adipose tissue and decreased inguinal and mesenteric fat mass. There was significant reduction in liver TG and liver total cholesterol.
CNX-012-570 has the potential to control hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. It also reduces body weight gain with an additional benefit of minimizing cardiovascular risks in diabetics.
AMP 激活的蛋白激酶(AMPK)调节合成代谢和分解代谢过程的协调,是 2 型糖尿病、肥胖症和代谢综合征颇具吸引力的治疗靶点。我们报告了 CNX - 012 - 570 的降血糖和降血脂作用,它是一种口服生物利用度高的小分子(分子量为 530 道尔顿),可在糖尿病的饮食诱导肥胖(DIO)和 db/db 动物模型中直接激活 AMPK。
在体外基于细胞以及无细胞系统中测试该化合物的活性和功效。将喂食高脂饮食(HFD)的雄性 C57BL/6 小鼠分为溶剂对照组或 CNX - 012 - 570 组(3mg/kg,每日口服一次),持续 8 周(n = 8)。给食用普通饲料的遗传性糖尿病 db/db 小鼠给予溶剂对照或 CNX - 012 - 570(2.5mg/kg,每日口服一次),持续 6 周(n = 8)。
CNX - 012 - 570 是一种高效且口服生物利用度高的化合物,可在细胞和无细胞系统中激活 AMPK。它分别抑制 3T3L1 细胞和大鼠原代肝细胞中的脂肪分解(33%)和糖异生(28%)。该分子的功效在糖尿病的 DIO 和 db/db 动物模型中均得到体现。CNX - 012 - 570 使空腹血糖水平降低了 14%,体重降低了 24%,空腹血清甘油三酯(TG)降低了 24%。CNX - 012 - 570 使进食后血清胆固醇水平降低了 22%,高密度脂蛋白(HDL)水平升高了 19%。在 db/db 小鼠模型中,CNX - 012 - 570 使进食后血糖降低了 18%,空腹血糖降低了 32%,糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)绝对值降低了 2.57%。血清胰岛素和葡萄糖曲线下面积(AUC)的降低表明胰岛素敏感性增加。体重降低了 13%,脂肪组织褐变增加,腹股沟和肠系膜脂肪量减少。肝脏 TG 和肝脏总胆固醇显著降低。
CNX - 012 - 570 具有控制高血糖和高血脂的潜力。它还能减少体重增加,对降低糖尿病患者的心血管风险有额外益处。
