AZD1656 is a potent, selective and orally active glucokinase activator with an EC50 of 60 nM. AZD1656 has the potential for type 2 diabetes research[1][2][3].
AZD1656 (0-9 mg/kg; oral gavage; daily; for 8 weeks; C57BL/6 mice) treatment shows lowered blood glucose and glucose excursion and raised insulin. Liver mRNA levels for various ChREBP target genes including carbohydrate response element binding protein beta isoform (ChREBP-β), G6pc, Pklr, Acly, Acac and Gpd2 are increased by AZD1656[1].
