EC50: 60 nM (Glucokinase)[2]

In Vivo AZD1656 (0-9 mg/kg; oral gavage; daily; for 8 weeks; C57BL/6 mice) treatment shows lowered blood glucose and glucose excursion and raised insulin. Liver mRNA levels for various ChREBP target genes including carbohydrate response element binding protein beta isoform (ChREBP-β), G6pc, Pklr, Acly, Acac and Gpd2 are increased by AZD1656[1]. Animal Model: C57BL/6 mice[1] Dosage: 0 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg, 4.5 mg/kg, 9 mg/kg Administration: Oral gavage; daily; for 8 weeks Result: Administered 2 hours before the oral glucose tolerance test, lowered blood glucose and glucose excursion and raised insulin.
