Synthesis and biological evaluation of benzimidazole derivatives as potent AMP-activated protein kinase activators
Design, synthesis and structure-activity relationships of benzimidazole derivatives as activators of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) are presented in this paper. AMPK is the central component of a protein kinase cascade that plays a key role in the regulation of energy balance. Once activated, AMPK initiates a series of responses that are aimed at restoring the energy balance of the cell and recent studies have indicated that AMPK plays an important role in regulation of the whole-body energy metabolism. The following study based on the lead compound S27847 involved modification of three regions of this compound. Preliminary structure-activity relationships are being described.
