Product Description

IM156 (IM-156; IM 156; HL-156A; HL156A) is a metformin/biguanide analog with potential anticancer and neuroprotective activity. It works as an OxPhos inhibitor and AMPK activator, increasing AMPK phosphorylation. In an animal model, IM156 lessens cognitive impairment brought on by aging.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
AMPK, OXPHOS
ln Vitro
IM156 (0.31-10 μM) phosphorylates AMPK1 Thr172 in NIH3T3 mouse fibroblast cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner[1].
Glucose-6-phosphatase (G6pase) and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (Pck1), two important players in glucose homeostasis, are not affected by IM156 on their expression[1].
ln Vivo
IM156 has no effect on metabolic control as measured by body weight, blood sugar, insulin levels, and lipid metabolite content in mice with diet-induced obesity[1]. Anxiety, general locomotion, or body weight are unaffected by IM156 (50 mg/kg; for 2 months)[2].
IM156 (50 mg/kg; for 2 months) does not affect body weight, general locomotion, or anxiety[2].
IM156 significantly slows the aging-related decline in spatial working memory and novel object recognition memory[2].
In the hippocampus of old mice, IM156 significantly boosts AMPK activation[2].
Enzyme Assay
A six-well plate is seeded with RPMCs at a density of 1 105 cells per well. RPMCs are grown to 70% confluence and serum-starved for 24 hours while under NG conditions. Using a siRNA transfection reagent and following the manufacturer's instructions, the specific AMPKα1 small interfering (si)RNA, AMPKα2 siRNA, or control siRNA are transfected into the cells. Using siRNA dilution buffer, AMPKα1 small interfering (si)RNA, AMPKα2 siRNA are incubated for 30 min at room temperature with a final concentration of 20 M. 2 ml of siRNA transfection medium is used to wash the cells twice, and then 200 μl of siRNA transfection reagent complex and 0.8 ml of siRNA transfection medium are added to the well, covering the entire layer. To ensure that the entire cell layer is submerged in the solution, the contents of the plate are gently swirled. The cells are then placed in an incubator with 5% CO2 for 5 hours at 37°C. One milliliter of regular growth medium is then added. The cells are then incubated for a further 24 hours. The media are then swapped out for brand-new, finished ones and treated with NG or HG for 24 hours in either IM156 (HL156A) presence or absence.
Animal Protocol

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 3.1716 mL 15.8579 mL 31.7158 mL
5 mM 0.6343 mL 3.1716 mL 6.3432 mL
10 mM 0.3172 mL 1.5858 mL 3.1716 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
