As a follow-up discovery of AMPK activators from natural products, 20S-dammar-24-en-2α,3β,12β,20-tetrol (GP,1), a dammarane-type triterpenoid, was found to have some favorable metabolic effects on dyslipidemia in Golden Syrian hamsters, and activate AMPKα2β1γ1 by around 2.4 fold with an EC50of 5.1 μM on molecular level. In order to enhance its potency at AMPK and structure–activity relationship study, GP derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated in pharmacological AMPK activation assays. Structure–activity relationship analysis showed that amine at the 24-position (groups I–IV) effectively and significantly increased the potency and efficacy. GP derivatives12and17–19exhibited better potency (EC50: 0.3, 0.8, 0.8, and 1.0 μM) and efficacy (fold: 3.2, 2.7, 3.0, and 2.8) in the activation of AMPK heterotrimer α2β1γ1 than positive control (AMP, EC50: 1.6 μM, fold: 3.2). Furthermore, the most potent compounds12and17obviously inhibited glucose output through increasing the phosphorylation of AMPK, without affecting mitochondrial membrane potential or producing cytotoxicity.
