AMPK

AMPK activators and inhibitors act on adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an energy sensor. The enzyme is a heterotrimer of a catalytic α subunit with regulatory β and γ subunits. When cellular energy falls, AMPK switches off anabolic pathways such as fatty acid synthesis and switches on catabolic processes. A 2001 study linked AMPK activation to the actions of metformin and introduced compound C, also known as dorsomorphin, as an inhibitor. A-769662, reported in 2006, was among the first direct small-molecule AMPK activators. MK8722 and ex229 also activate the kinase directly, whereas acadesine acts through a cellular metabolite that mimics adenosine monophosphate.
