AMPK activator 18
Based on 1 Customer Validation
AMPK activator 18 is a potent allosteric activator of AMPK complexes containing the β2 isoform. AMPK activator 18activates α2-containing AMPK α2β2γ1 and α2β2γ3 complexes, with EC50 values of 17.2 and 82.1 nM. AMPK activator 18 stimulates β2-AMPK in cells, and glucose uptake by isolated skeletal muscle. AMPK activator 18 induces acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC) and AMPK α-T172 phosphorylation. AMPK activator 18 can be used for the research of type 2 diabetes.

In Vitro
AMPK activator 18 potently and selectively activates α2-containing AMPK complexes, particularly the skeletal muscle-enriched α2β2γ1 and α2β2γ3 complexes, with EC50 values of 17.2 ± 1.6 nM and 82.1 ± 1.3 nM respectively, and its activation is dependent on the β2-D111 residue but not the β2 N-terminal helix[1].
AMPK activator 18 (0.03-10 μM; 1 h) triggers AMPK signaling in differentiated C2C12 myotubes and β2-reconstituted iMEFs via an allosteric mechanism independent of changes to intracellular AMP/ATP ratio or AMPK α-T172 phosphorylation, inducing dose-dependent ACC phosphorylation[1].
AMPK activator 18 (1-2 μM) increases ACC phosphorylation and AMPK α-T172 phosphorylation levels in Epitrochlearis muscles[1].
AMPK activator 18 (10 μM) reduces 2-deoxyglucose (2DG) uptake in soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscles[1].

Solvent & Solubility
In Vitro:
DMSO : 10 mg/mL (21.19 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (stored under nitrogen). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

In Vivo:
Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 1 mg/mL (2.12 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (10.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 1 mg/mL (2.12 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (10.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
