General description
An orally bioavilable diacetyloxy-naphthoquinone compound that directly targets insulin receptor tyrosine kinase (IRTK) domain and specifically increases IR kinase activity with no effect on IGF-1R and EGFR. Shown to rapidly phosphorylate IR (Tyr1146 and Tyr1158/1162/1163) and IRS-1 and selectively activate insulin signaling Akt (Thr473) and ERK pathways in CHO-IGF-IR cells at 5 µM. Sensitizes insulin action, enhances glucose uptake in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes and decreases blood glucose levels in both normal and diabetic C57BL/6J mice (20 mg/kg, p.o.).
