Biological Activity

Description

MK-8722 is a potent, direct, allosteric activator of all 12 mammalian pan-AMPK complexes.

Targets
pan-AMPK [1]
In vitro

MK-8722 activates pAMPK complexes with increased potency and magnitude versus AMP. In primary mouse hepatocytes, HepG2 cells, or primary human myocytes, MK-8722 results in the phosphorylation of a number of additional known targets of pAMPK, and the most potent off-target activity observed for MK8722 is against the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.[1]

In vivo

Pharmacological pan-AMPK activation by MK-8722 leads to chronically sustainable improvements in glucose homeostasis, including the amelioration of insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. Acute treatment with MK-8722 (30 mpk) significantly suppress blood glucose and insulin levels. In mice, chronic MK-8722 dose also increases muscle Glut4 protein levels. In rhesus monkeys, MK8722 results in cardiac hypertrophy associated with increased cardiac and skeletal muscle glycogen.[1]
