(Rac)-Pinostrobin
(Rac)-Pinostrobin ((±)-Pinostrobin) is a dual agonist of TGR5 and PPARγ. (Rac)-Pinostrobin specifically activates TGR5 without acting on other endogenously expressed GPCRs. (Rac)-Pinostrobin exhibits moderate PPARγ activation activity. (Rac)-Pinostrobin possesses metabolic regulatory activity. (Rac)-Pinostrobin can be used in research related to obesity and type 2 diabetes.

In Vitro
(Rac)-Pinostrobin ((±)-Pinostrobin) (13-100 μM; up to 40 h) activates TGR5 in TGR5-expressing HepG2 cells, producing significant, dose-dependent activation across concentrations from 13 to 100 μM[1].
(Rac)-Pinostrobin (13-100 μM; up to 40 h) acts as a modest PPARγ activator in A9 cells, producing significant activation only at concentrations from 13 to 44 μM, with no detectable activity at higher concentrations[1].

Research Protocol for Metabolic Diseases
AMP-activated protein kinase, AMPK, is a conserved cellular energy sensor that responds to reduced cellular energy status and coordinates metabolism by increasing ATP-generating catabolic pathways while suppressing ATP-consuming anabolic processes. In metabolic disease research, the AMPK pathway is experimentally relevant because it regulates hepatic lipid synthesis, fatty acid oxidation, glucose production, skeletal-muscle glucose disposal, mTORC1-linked biosynthesis, autophagy, mitochondrial homeostasis, and whole-body energy balance. The central pathway logic is that energy stress, metformin, exercise-like stimulation, or direct AMPK activators increase AMPKα Thr172 phosphorylation and downstream substrate phosphorylation, including ACC and RAPTOR. Phosphorylation of ACC suppresses lipogenesis and supports fatty acid oxidation, whereas phosphorylation of RAPTOR suppresses mTORC1 signaling and links cellular energy status to growth and protein synthesis control. The pathway is linked
