    Unlike biguanides, treatment with 991 activates AMPK without increasing cellular AMP levels. Both biguanides and 991 activate the major PDE 4B isoenzyme in hepatocytes in an AMPK-dependent manner. Metformin and phenformin activate hepatic AMPK either directly or via a rise in AMP, which could compete with ATP to inhibit adenylate cyclase. Phosphorylation-induced activation of PDE4B by AMPK reduces glucagon-stimulated cAMP accumulation. As a consequence, PKA activation by glucagon and downstream signalling are decreased in hepatocytes incubated with 991, the effect being AMPK-dependent.
