The structure of BAY-3827 with wild-type AMPK α2 kinase domain by @zeqiraj.bsky.social & postdoc Mohd. Syed Ayengar helped determine the mechanism of action of this compound and the limitations for its use, addressing a long-standing challenge in the field: the absence of specific AMPK inhibitors.

BAY-3827 inhibited ~30% of AMPK-dependent genes in mouse primary hepatocytes and reversed AMPK-inhibited lipogenesis. 2/3
