Dorsomorphin 6-[4-(2-Piperidin-1-yl-ethoxy)-phenyl)]-3-pyridin-4-yl-pyrrazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidine Light yellow solid. PROTECT FROM LIGHT. PACKAGED UNDER INERT GAS. A cell-permeable pyrrazolopyrimidine compound that acts as a potent, selective, reversible, and ATP-competitive inhibitor of AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase; Ki = 109 nM in the presence of 5 µM ATP and the absence of AMP). Does not affect the activities of ZAPK, Syk, PKCq, PKA, or JAK3. Blocks celluar activities induced by AICAr (Cat. No. 123040) or Metformin (Cat. No. 317420). Induces weight loss by attenuating AMPK-mediated food intake in mice. Purity: ≥95% by HPLC. CAS 866405-64-3. Ref.: Yu, P.B., et al. 2008. Nat. Chem. Biol 4, 33. Kim, E.K., et al. 2004. J. Biol.
