• SAR study of PPD has been reported.
• Some derivatives showed potent AMPK activation.
• 12 and 13 exhibited potent inhibition of lipid synthesis.
Adenosine 5′-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been demonstrated as a promising drug target due to its regulatory function in glucose and lipid metabolism. 20(S)-protopanoxadiol (PPD) was firstly identified from high throughput screening as a small molecule activator of AMPK subtype α2β1γ1. In order to enhance its potency on AMPK, a series of PPD derivatives were synthesized and evaluated. Structure–activity relationship study showed that the amine derivatives at the 24-position (groups I–VI) can improve the potency (EC50: 0.7–2.3 μM) and efficacy (fold: 2.5–3.8). Among them, compounds 12 and 13 exhibited the best potency (EC50: 1.2 and 0.7 μM) and efficacy (fold: 3.7 and 3.8). Further study suggested the mechanism of AMPK activation may functioned at the allosteric position, resulting the inhibition of the lipid synthesis in HepG2 cell model.
