MK8722 is an orally allosteric pan-AMPK activator that supports glucose homeostasis, with EC50 values of 1-60nM[1]. MK8722 binds to the allosteric drug and metabolite (ADaM) site between the α-kinase domain and the β-glycogen-binding domain, stabilizes the enzyme’s activation loop in an active conformation, and allows bypassing the need for AMPKα T172 phosphorylation for full enzyme activation [2]. MK8722 has been widely used in animal models to regulate blood glucose levels and glucose uptake[3].
In vitro, MK8722 treatment for 48h significantly inhibited the proliferation of A2780, OV90, and SKOV3 cells with IC50 values of 35.47, 36.44 and 47.89μg/ml, respectively[4]. Treatment of PANC-1 cells with 50μM MK8722 for 24h significantly reduced colony formation and inhibited cell invasion and migration[5]. Pretreatment with 10μM MK8722 for 30min reduced the abundance of Bax, Caspase-3, and the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and increased the abundance of SIRT3 and MnSOD activity in H2O2-induced bovine mammary alveolar cells (MAC-T)[6].
In vivo, MK8722 treatment via daily subcutaneous injection at a dose of 30mg/kg for 4 weeks in 4-month-old male HSALR mice improved the alternative splicing of Atp2a1 in the tibialis anterior muscle and resulted in the activation of AMPK and a switch of oxidative metabolism[7]. Daily oral administration of MK8722 at a dose of 30mg/kg for 30 days attenuated paclitaxel-induced hyperalgesia in male and female mice[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | A2780 cells |
Preparation Method | A2780 cells were cultured in complete Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 100µg/ml streptomycin, 100U/ml penicillin, and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37°C in 5% CO2. Cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of approximately 3×103 cells/well and incubated for 24 hours. Subsequently, cells were treated with MK8722 (5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100μM) for 48 hours. The CCK-8 solution was diluted in the medium at a ratio of 1:10 and added to a 96-well plate. After 2h of incubation, cell viability was determined. |
Reaction Conditions | 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100μM; 48h |
Applications | MK8722 treatment inhibited the cell viability of A2780 cells in a dose-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Male BALB/c nude mice |
Preparation Method | Male nude mice (BALB/c), weighing 18-22g, aged 6-8 weeks, were housed in a temperature, humidity, and light-controlled environment and fed a standard mouse diet and water. Experimental mice (n=3) were subcutaneously injected with 5×106 PANC-1 cells dissolved in 100μl PBS into the root of the right lower limb, followed by daily gavage of MK8722 (25mg/kg/day) for 30 days. Control mice (n=3) were injected with 5×106 PANC-1 cells and gavaged with control vehicle (DMSO) daily. Tumor length and width were measured every other day, and tumor volume was calculated using the formula V=(length×width2)/2, where length was always the longest dimension of the tumor. |
Dosage form | 25mg/kg/day for 30 days; p.o. |
Applications | MK8722 treatment significantly inhibited tumor volume and weight in mice. |
