CM002
CM002 is a circadian clock activator. CM002 inhibits the lineage commitment and terminal differentiation of preadipocytes by activating the circadian clock, thereby blocking the adipogenesis process driven by Wnt signaling-mediated transcriptional induction. CM002 attenuates lipid storage in a clock-dependent manner via inhibition of the lipogenic program in mature adipocytes. CM002 enhances circadian clock output across various adipose depots in both lean and obese mice through BMAL1/CLOCK-dependent metabolic reprogramming, inhibits adipocyte development and hypertrophy, and improves insulin sensitivity. CM002 can be used in research on obesity and type 2 diabetes.

CM002 is used in U2OS reporter cells to screen for compounds with circadian clock-activating activity[1].
CM002 (0.5-1 µM; 5 days) exhibits a dose-dependent shortening of the circadian period with a circadian clock-activating effect, without significantly affecting amplitude in U2OS reporter gene cells[1].
CM002 (0.5-1 µM; 6 h) induces the mRNA expression of core clock genes (CLOCK, Bmal1, Nr1d1) in C3H10T1/2 cells[1].
CM002 (0.5-1 µM; 8 days of induced differentiation) potently inhibits adipogenesis in C3H10T1/2 cells, suppressing approximately 50% of lipid accumulation at a concentration of 1 µM[1].
CM002 (1 µM; 8 days of induced differentiation) almost completely eliminates the key adipogenic factors C/EBPα and PPARγ and substantially downregulates FABP4 and FASN protein expression in C3H10T1/2 cells[1].
CM002 (0.5-1 µM; 6 days of induced differentiation) dose-dependently inhibits cell maturation in primary preadipocytes from normal mice (FloxCtr). The inhibitory effect of CM002 is markedly attenuated in Bmal1-deficient cells[1].
CM002 (0.5-1 µM; 6 h) upregulates the mRNA expression of Wnt ligands (Wnt1, Wnt10a) in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes[1].
CM002 (1 µM; 8 days of induced differentiation) reactivates/maintains β-catenin protein levels in C3H10T1/2 cells[1].
CM002 (0.1-0.5 µM) activates Wnt activity under basal conditions in cells transfected with the TOPFlash reporter; under Wnt3a stimulation, it exhibits greater activation potency to Wnt than chlorhexidine (HY-B1248)[1].
CM002 (1 µM; treatment for 48 h post-differentiation) significantly reduces lipid content in primary mature adipocytes from mice (drug administration on day 4 of differentiation). CM002 reduces FASN and FABP4 protein expression in mouse primary mature adipocytes. CM002 induces the mRNA expression of clock genes (CLOCK, Dbp, Nr1d2) thermogenic and lipolytic genes (Ucp1, Hsl), and a marker of mitochondrial biogenesis (Pgc-1α) in mouse primary mature adipocytes. CM002 significantly reduces lipid accumulation in primary mature adipocytes from control mice (FloxCtr), whereas its lipid storage-suppressive effect is completely lost in Bmal1-deficient mature adipocytes [1].
CM002 (1 µM; 10-12 days of induced differentiation) strongly inhibits adipogenic maturation in human primary preadipocytes [1].
CM002 (1-2 µM; treatment for 6 days post-differentiation) significantly suppresses lipid deposition in human late-stage differentiated adipocytes. CM002 strongly induces the expression of clock proteins (BMAL1, RORα) as well as lipid synthesis and transport-related proteins (FASN, FABP4) in human adipocytes[1].

CM002 (5 mg/kg or 15 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; 3 times weekly for 18 days) exerts metabolic-regulating and anti-obesity effects in 20–24-week-old C57BL/6J mice fed a normal diet. CM002 induces and enhances the expression of circadian clock proteins in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. CM002 causes a significant reduction in body weight (a decrease of approximately 15%) in the mice. CM002 significantly inhibits adipocyte hypertrophy in epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) and inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT), and reduces lipid storage in interscapular brown adipose tissue (BAT). CM002 significantly downregulates the protein expression of adipogenic factors and key regulators/enzymes of adipogenesis in eWAT. CM002 lowers fasting plasma free fatty acid (FFA) and fasting blood glucose levels, while enhancing glucose clearance and insulin sensitivity. CM002 increases the expression of insulin-responsive glucose transporters and markers of mitochondrial abundance/activity in skeletal muscle[1]. CM002 (5 mg/kg; i.p.; once daily; recorded for 4 consecutive days) regulates overall energy homeostasis in normal-diet-fed C57BL/6J mice monitored in metabolic cages. CM002 induces the mice to preferentially utilize fat oxidation over carbohydrates as an energy source[1].
CM002 (5 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once daily for 7 consecutive days) induced a weight loss of up to 8 g within one week in a high-fat diet-induced obesity mouse model (C57BL/6J mice aged 14–20 weeks fed a 45% high-fat diet for 8 weeks). CM002 significantly reduced the wet tissue weight of brown adipose tissue (BAT) and decreased lipid accumulation. CM002 downregulated the protein expression of adipogenic factors and lipogenic enzymes in inguinal white adipose tissue and brown adipose tissue. CM002 significantly reduced circulating plasma free fatty acid levels[1]. CM002 (7 mg/kg; i.p.; 3 times a week; for 16 consecutive days) in a high-fat diet-induced obese C57BL/6J mouse model (initiated in 14-20-week-old mice fed a 45% high-fat diet for 8 weeks) reproduces the weight-loss effect (approximately 8 g of weight loss within 16 days) through this low-frequency dosing regimen, and this body weight reduction is entirely driven by the loss of fat mass, with no significant changes in total lean mass. CM002 significantly reduces the wet weights of various fat depots, including eWAT, iWAT, and BAT. CM002 fully preserves skeletal muscle mass[1]
