Biochem/physiol Actions

M2 is a metabolite of the chemopreventive agent oltipraz. Oltipraz metabolite M2 has been shown to inhibit liver steatosis by inhibiting lipogenesis and enhancing mitochondrial function, including fuel oxidation. Oltipraz metabolite M2 acts as a potent inhibitor of LXRa transcriptional activity, and also AMPK activator inducing the phosphorylation of AMPK.
M2 is a metabolite of the chemopreventive agent oltipraz; LXRa inhibitor; AMPK activator.

Oltipraz is a potential candidate drug for the treatment of liver fibrosis (LF) and liver cirrhosis (LC). The pharmacokinetics of oltipraz and its major rearranged metabolite (7-methyl-6,8-bis(methylthio)H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine (RM)) were evaluated after single-dose (30-90 mg) and multiple-dose (60 mg b.i.d. or

Molecular pharmacology, 48(1), 15-20 (1995-07-01)
Oltipraz, an inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 replication in vitro (ED50 approximately 10 microM), undergoes extensive metabolism in vivo. Most of the orally administered drug undergoes opening of the dithiolethione ring, reduction, recyclization, and methylation to form 7-methyl-6,8-bis(methylthio)pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine

AMPKs

The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) acts as a sensor of cellular energy status. AMPK exists as heterotrimeric complexes comprising a catalytic α subunit and regulatory β and γ subunits.
