PGC-1α

Valproic acid sodium salt (Sodium Valproate) is an HDAC inhibitor, with IC50 in the range of 0.5 and 2 mM, also inhibits HDAC1 (IC50, 400 μM), and induces proteasomal degradation of HDAC2.

ZLN005 is a PGC-1α Transcriptional Regulator, which shoed some beneficialfEffects on diabetic db/db mice.

SR 18292 is a PGC-1α inhibitor. It reduces blood glucose, strongly increases hepatic insulin sensitivity, and improves glucose homeostasis in dietary and genetic mouse models of T2D.

Valproic acid is an HDAC inhibitor, with IC50 in the range of 0.5 and 2 mM, also inhibits HDAC1 (IC50, 400 μM), and induces proteasomal degradation of HDAC2; Valproic acid sodium salt is used in the treatment of epilepsy, bipolar disorder and prevention of migraine headaches.

Ac-SVVVRT-NH2 is a PGC-1α modulator that modulates the activity of the human PGC-1α promoter (114%). Ac-SVVVRT-NH2 increases PGC-1α mRNA (125%) and accumulation of intracellular lipids (128%) in subcutaneous human adipocytes. Ac-SVVVRT-NH2 can be used in the research of diseases which is modulated by PGC-1α.

Phoenixin-20 (PNX-20) is a bioactive peptide with hormone-like actions in vertebrates, and can stimulates hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal hormones and regulate reproductive processes in mammals. Phoenixin-20 promotes neuronal mitochondrial biogenesis via CREB-PGC-1α pathway. Phoenixin-20 has anxiolytic effect.

MitoPBN is an AMPK/SIRT3/PGC-1α modulator that enhances mitochondrial function by acting as a reactive oxygen species scavenger. This compound promotes mitochondrial biogenesis through increased AMPK phosphorylation, restoration of SIRT3 expression, and upregulation of PGC-1α. MitoPBN is effective in regulating glucose metabolism, as it decreases blood glucose levels by inhibiting hepatic gluconeogenesis and enhancing glucose uptake, while also improving ATP production and maintaining mitochondrial membrane potential. Additionally, it can reduce apoptosis and enhance sperm motility and membrane integrity, making it a valuable reagent for research related to diabetes and metabolic disorders.
