Synthesis and In Vitro AMPK Activation of Cycloalkyl/Alkarylbiguanides with Robust In Vivo Antihyperglycemic Action by Erika Gutierrez-Lara, Carlos Martínez-Conde, Edgar Rosales-Ortega, Juan José Ramírez-Espinosa, Julio C. Rivera-Leyva, David Centurión, Karla Carvajal, Daniel Ortega-Cuellar, Samuel Estrada-Soto, Gabriel Navarrete-Vázquez

“…This work describes the design, synthesis in one step, and the in vitro, in vivo, and in silico antidiabetic evaluation of a series of ten alicyclic and aromatic (alkyl +aryl: alkaryl)biguanides, analogues of metformin and phenformin. The design was conceived using isosteric replacement, chain-ring transformation, and lower and higher homologation strategies. …”
