CP-316819

CP 316819 is a potent glycogen phosphorylase (GPase) inhibitor with antihyperglycemic effect (IC50 values are 17 and 34 nM against human skeletal muscle glycogen phosphorylase (huSMGPa) and liver glycogen phosphorylase (huLGPa) respectively).CP 316819 causes glycogen accumulation under normoglycemic conditions but permits glycogen utilization when glucose concentrations are low.CP-316819 prevents neuronal cell death and maintains brain electrical currents[1][2].
