| Targets |
The target is AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), a key energy sensor and regulator of cellular metabolism. AMPK is a heterotrimeric enzyme complex. AMPK-IN-3 potently inhibits the kinase activity of both the AMPK alpha1 and alpha2 subunits. It shows selectivity over the kinase KDR (VEGFR2), indicating a focused mechanism on energy metabolism pathways.

| ln Vitro |
AMPK(α2), FLT1, JAK1 JH2-pseudokinase, and AMPK(α1) are all inhibited by AMPK-IN-3 (100 nM) by 64%, 43%, 41%, and 29%, respectively[1]. K562 cells with AMPK-IN-3 (0.195313, 0.78125, 3.125, 12.5, 50 µM; 2 h) exhibit a reduction in p-ACC levels [1]. Without compromising the viability of the cells, AMPK-IN-3 (1-100 µM; 24, 48, and 72 hours) can efficiently decrease cellular AMPK activity [1].
AMPK-IN-3 inhibits AMPK enzymatic activity at low nanomolar concentrations in biochemical assays. In cellular assays, AMPK-IN-3 inhibits AMPK but does not affect the viability of K562 leukemia cells nor cause significant cytotoxicity. This suggests that its inhibitory effect on AMPK is not broadly toxic to all cell types, making it a useful tool for studying AMPK-specific functions in metabolism and cancer. |
| ln Vivo |
Specific in vivo data for AMPK-IN-3 are not published. As a tool compound targeting a key metabolic regulator, its in vivo use would be carefully considered due to the central role of AMPK in whole-body metabolism. It could be used in murine studies of metabolic diseases or cancer to understand the contribution of AMPK signaling.

| Enzyme Assay |
A typical AMPK biochemical assay measures the phosphorylation of a peptide substrate. Purified recombinant human AMPK alpha1/beta1/gamma1 or alpha2/beta1/gamma1 complex is pre-incubated with varying concentrations of AMPK-IN-3. The reaction is initiated by adding ATP and a fluorescein-labeled SAMS peptide substrate (HMR SAMS). After incubation, the reaction is stopped, and the ratio of phosphorylated to non-phosphorylated peptide is quantified using a Mobility Shift Assay or a time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) system.

| Cell Assay |
Cell Viability Assay [1]
Cell Types: K562 Cell Tested Concentrations: 0.195313, 0.78125, 3.125, 12.5, 50 µM Incubation Duration: 2 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: diminished cellular levels of p-ACC(Ser79) in K562 cells. Cell viability assay [1] Cell Types: K562 Cell Tested Concentrations: 1-100 µM Incubation Duration: 24, 48, 72 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Culturing under hypoxic conditions for 72 hrs (hours) had no measurable effect on the cell viability of K562 cells. A cellular assay would be performed in K562 cells or other cell lines where AMPK is active. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of AMPK-IN-3 for 4-6 hours. The compound's ability to inhibit AMPK is assessed by Western blot analysis of its downstream target, Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (ACC). A reduction in p-ACC (Ser79) levels compared to a vehicle control indicates effective AMPK inhibition. Cell viability is measured after 24-72 hours of treatment using a standard MTT or CellTiter-Glo assay. |
| Animal Protocol |
No detailed in vivo protocols are available. A typical study would involve administering AMPK-IN-3 to mice via intraperitoneal injection to explore its acute effects on metabolism. For example, after a fasting period, mice would be injected with the compound, and then tissues such as liver and skeletal muscle would be harvested to measure p-ACC levels as a marker of AMPK activity.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Specific pharmacokinetic parameters for AMPK-IN-3 are not provided in the available literature. As a research chemical intended for studying the role of AMPK, its characterization would typically involve assessing its solubility, stability, and initial in vivo exposure to determine appropriate dosing for future animal studies.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Specific toxicological data for AMPK-IN-3 are not detailed. However, it is noted that the compound does not affect cell viability or cause significant cytotoxicity in K562 cancer cells, suggesting that at certain concentrations, its effects are specific to AMPK signaling rather than inducing general toxicity. This selectivity is a key feature for a target validation tool.

| Additional Infomation |
AMPK is a central regulator of cellular energy balance and a major target for metabolic diseases like diabetes and for cancer research. AMPK-IN-3 is a potent and selective research tool, particularly valuable because it inhibits both alpha1 and alpha2 isoforms with high potency. As of the latest updates, it is an experimental research chemical for pre-clinical studies and has not yet been approved for clinical use.
