AMPK; OXPHOS/oxidative phosphorylation
Lixumistat acetate targets AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), increasing AMPK phosphorylation. As a potent oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) inhibitor, it modulates cellular energy metabolism. The compound is a metformin derivative with enhanced potency. |

| ln Vitro |
Lixumistat (acetate) (0.31-10 μM) phosphorylates AMPKα1 Thr172 in NIH3T3 murine fibroblasts in a way that is dependent on both time and dose [1]. Acetate, or lixumistat, has no effect on the expression of important glucose homeostasis-related factors such phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (Pck1) or glucose-6-phosphatase (G6pase) [1].
Lixumistat acetate (0.31-10 μM) phosphorylates AMPKα1 Thr172 in NIH3T3 murine fibroblasts in a time- and dose-dependent manner. This activation of AMPK leads to downstream metabolic effects, including inhibition of OXPHOS. |
| ln Vivo |
In mice with diet-induced obesity, lixumistat (acetate) had no effect on metabolic regulation as measured by body weight, blood glucose, insulin levels, and lipid metabolic content [1]. Lixumistat (acetate) (50 mg/kg; for 2 months) has no effect on anxiety, weight, or mobility in general [2]. The aging-related reduction in spatial working memory and new object recognition memory can be considerably mitigated by lixumistat (acetate) [2]. Aged mice's hippocampal AMPK activity is markedly elevated by lixumistat (acetate) [2].
Lixumistat acetate attenuates aging-associated cognitive impairment in animal models. As an OXPHOS inhibitor, it can be used for the research of solid tumors. The compound is orally active, supporting its use in in vivo studies. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Metformin is a treatment of choice for patients with type 2 diabetes. Its action involves the phosphorylation of 5'-adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK), leading to inhibition of liver gluconeogenesis. The effects of a novel chemical compound derived from metformin, HL271, on molecular and physiological actions involving AMPK and rhythmically-expressed circadian clock genes were investigated. HL271 potently activated AMPK in a dose-dependent manner, and produced shortening of the circadian period and enhanced degradation of the clock genes PER2 and CRY1. Although the molecular effects of HL271 resembled those of metformin, it produced different physiological effects in mice with diet-induced obesity. HL271 did not elicit glucose-lowering or insulin-sensitizing effects, possibly because of altered regulation of glucose-6-phosphatase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1. This indicated that, although HL271 acted on circadian clock machinery through a similar molecular mechanism to metformin, it differed in its systemic effect on glucose and lipid metabolite regulations[1].
AMPK phosphorylation assays are performed using cell-based systems. Lixumistat acetate is incubated with cells, and AMPK phosphorylation at Thr172 is measured by Western blot or ELISA. Dose-response curves are generated to determine the compound's potency. |

Western Blot analysis [1]
Cell Types: NIH3T3 cells Tested Concentrations: 0.31 μM, 0.62 μM, 1.25 μM, 2.5 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM Incubation Duration: 4 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: AMPK phosphorylation rate was Dramatically increased. Cell-based assays are conducted using NIH3T3 murine fibroblasts. Cells are treated with Lixumistat acetate at concentrations ranging from 0.31-10 μM, and AMPK phosphorylation is assessed. The compound's effects on OXPHOS and cellular metabolism are evaluated in cancer cell lines. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: C57BL/6J mice (young group/12-16 weeks, old group/20-22 months) [2]
Doses: 50 mg/kg Route of Administration: Orally (drinking water), lasting 2 months Experimental Results: Attenuates age-related cognitive decline. Animal care and experimental procedures followed the guidelines of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the Institute of Basic Science (IBS). Experiments were performed with male and female C57BL/6J mice (12~16 weeks of age for the young group and 20~22 months of age for the old groups). Group-housed mice were separated into single cages for acclimatization one month before beginning drug treatment. Mice were housed under controlled temperature and light conditions (23℃, 12-h light:12-h dark cycle). Experiments were performed during the light phase. The old mice were divided into three groups and orally treated with normal drinking water (control), metformin solution (100 mg/kg), or HL271 solution (50 mg/kg) for 2 months.[2] In vivo studies are performed in animal models of aging-associated cognitive impairment and solid tumors. Lixumistat acetate is administered orally, and cognitive function, tumor growth, and metabolic parameters are assessed. |

| Additional Infomation |
Risushita acetate is the acetate form of risushita, a highly bioavailable biguanide compound that is also an inhibitor of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) with potential antitumor activity. After administration, risushita inhibits oxidative phosphorylation, reduces mitochondrial function, suppresses tumor cell metabolism, and deprives tumor cells of energy, thereby inhibiting tumor cell proliferation. Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation is overactivated in cancer cells and plays a crucial role in tumor cell proliferation. Drug-resistant tumor cells are highly sensitive to reduced mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation because they struggle to compensate for the decline in mitochondrial function by increasing glycolysis.
Lixumistat acetate is a potent AMPK activator and OXPHOS inhibitor derived from Metformin. It is used for research on solid tumors and aging-associated cognitive impairment. The compound is not approved for clinical use and is supplied for research purposes only. |
