Aldometanib (LXY-05-029) is an orally active aldolase inhibitor. Aldometanib can activate lysosomal adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and decreases blood glucose. Aldometanib can be used for the research of metabolic homeostasis[1].
Aldometanib (0-1000 nM; 2 h) activates AMPK by preventing aldolase from binding to FBP to engender a pseudo-starvation signal[1].
