Abstract

Design, synthesis and structure–activity relationships of benzimidazole derivatives as activators of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) are presented in this paper. AMPK is the central component of a protein kinase cascade that plays a key role in the regulation of energy balance. Once activated, AMPK initiates a series of responses that are aimed at restoring the energy balance of the cell and recent studies have indicated that AMPK ...
