Usage of mangiferin calcium salt taken as AMPK agonist

Abstract

The invention provides a usage of mangiferin calcium salt for preparing AMPK agonist. The mangiferin calcium salt has the structure shown by the following formula.

Description

technical field The invention relates to the use of a mangiferin calcium salt as an AMPK activator. Background technique AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a protein kinase that regulates energy metabolism in cells. Numerous studies have confirmed that AMPK affects sugar, fat and protein metabolism, and AMPK plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of human metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity. Recent studies have also found that AMPK gene mutations can lead to cardiac hypertrophy and arrhythmia. When myocardial and vascular smooth muscle are stimulated by ischemia / hypoxia or cardiovascular active substances, AMPK activation can also inhibit cell proliferation by affecting cell cycle and substance metabolism, and plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of hypertension and atherosclerosis. Therefore, AMPK is expected to become an important new target for the treatment of metabolic diseases and cardiovascular diseases. The researchers also be...
