Xanthene derivatives increase glucose utilization through activation of LKB1-dependent AMP-activated protein kinase.
5' AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a highly conserved serine-threonine kinase that regulates energy expenditure by activating catabolic metabolism and suppressing anabolic pathways to increase cellular energy levels. Therefore AMPK activators are considered to be drug targets for treatme...
