Cas No.:1219739-36-2
Sample solution is provided at 25 µL, 10mM.
EX229 is a benzimidazole derivative that functions as a potent allosteric agonist of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)[1]. EX229 binds to AMPK with high specificity, exhibiting differential binding affinity for various isoforms: α1β1γ1 (Kd=0.06μM), α2β1γ1 (Kd=0.06μM), and α1β2γ1 (Kd=0.51μM)[2]. EX229 effectively regulates glucose transport and inhibits lipogenesis[3].
In vitro, treatment of C2C12 myotube cells with EX229 (2–25μM) for 12 hours significantly activated the AMPK signaling pathway, as indicated by a dose-dependent increase in AMPKα phosphorylation. This was accompanied by upregulation of key unfolded protein response (UPR) markers, including ATF4 and CHOP, at the protein level[4].
In vivo, daily intramuscular administration of EX229 (2.0mg/kg) for 8 weeks in a rat model of heart failure induced by coronary artery ligation significantly reversed the cardioprotective effects of Fuyu Decoction. This was demonstrated by a marked increase in left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and end-systolic volume (LVESV), along with a significant reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and fractional shortening (LVFS)[5].

EX229是一种苯并咪唑衍生物,是一种有效的变构激动剂作用于AMP活化蛋白激酶(AMPK)[1]。EX229能够特异性地与AMPK结合,对α1β1γ1(Kd=0.06μM)、α2β1γ1(Kd=0.06μM)和α1β2γ1(Kd=0.51μM)不同亚型的亲和力存在差别[2]。EX229能有效调节葡萄糖转运和抑制脂肪生成[3]。
在体外,EX229(2-25μM)处理C2C12肌管细胞12小时,显著激活AMPK信号通路,表现为AMPKα磷酸化水平剂量依赖性升高,同时诱导未折叠蛋白反应(UPR)关键标志物ATF4和CHOP的蛋白表达上调[4]。
在体内,EX229(2.0mg/kg)每日肌肉注射处理冠状动脉结扎诱导的心力衰竭模型大鼠8周,能够显著逆转附萸汤对心力衰竭大鼠心功能指标的改善作用,表现为左心室舒张末期容积(LVEDV)和收缩末期容积(LVESV)显著增加,左心室射血分数(LVEF)和左室短轴缩短率(LVFS)显著降低[5]。
| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | C2C12 myotubes (mouse skeletal muscle cell line) |
Preparation Method | C2C12 myoblasts were differentiated into myotubes in high-glucose DMEM supplemented with 2% horse serum for 4 days. Myotubes were treated with EX229 at concentrations ranging from 2 to 25μM for 12 hours. |
Reaction Conditions | 2-25μM; 12 hours |
Applications | EX229 dose-dependently activated AMPK signaling, as evidenced by increased phosphorylation of AMPKα (p-AMPKα). This activation subsequently induced the unfolded protein response (UPR), marked by upregulated protein expression of UPR markers ATF4 and CHOP. EX229 also enhanced the mRNA levels of UPR-related genes, including BIP, ATF4, GADD34, and XBP1s, demonstrating EX229 role in promoting ER stress adaptation. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Male Wistar rats with heart failure induced by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery |
Preparation Method | Rats were treated with EX229 (2.0mg/kg) via daily intramuscular injection for 8 weeks, starting 4 weeks after heart failure induction. The treatment was combined with Fuyu Decoction (5.0g/kg, oral gavage) in the Fuyu Soup+EX229 group. |
Dosage form | 2.0mg/kg; i.m. |
Applications | EX229 administration significantly reversed the cardioprotective effects of Fuyu Decoction, exacerbating heart failure progression. EX229 increased left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and end-systolic volume (LVESV), reduced ejection fraction (LVEF) and fractional shortening (LVFS), and worsened ventricular remodeling indicators. EX229 also amplified myocardial infarction area, promoted cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and enhanced autophagy activation via the AMPK/mTOR pathway, as evidenced by upregulated p-AMPK, LC3-II/LC3-I, and Beclin1 expressions, and suppressed p-mTOR and p62 levels. |
