AM-2394 is an effective and specific Glucokinase agonist (GKA, EC50: 60 nM), which catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate. AM-2394(AM2394) increases the affinity of GK for glucose by approximately 10-fold, exhibits moderate clearance and good oral bioavailability in multiple animal models, and lowers glucose excursion following an oral glucose tolerance test in an ob/ob mouse model of diabetes.
