AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a central regulator of energy homeostasis,
which coordinates metabolic pathways and thus balances nutrient supply with
energy demand. Because of the favorable physiological outcomes of AMPK activation
on metabolism, AMPK has been considered to be an important therapeutic target for
controlling human diseases including metabolic syndrome and cancer. Thus,
activators of AMPK may have potential as novel therapeutics for these diseases.
In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of both indirect and direct
AMPK activators and their modes of action in relation to the structure of AMPK.
We discuss the functional differences among isoform-specific AMPK complexes and
their significance regarding the development of novel AMPK activators and the
potential for combining different AMPK activators in the treatment of human
disease.
