Buformin (1-butylbiguanide) is an oral antidiabetic drug of the biguanide class. AMPK activator. AMPK is a potential therapeutic target in the prevention and the treatment of type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance. Major classes of antidiabetic drugs have been reported to activate AMPK. Buformin exerts its anti-tumorigenic activity via activation of AMPK and inhibition of the mTOR signaling pathways in endometrial cancer cells. Toxicity: guinea pig LD50 subcutaneous 18 mg/kg; mouse LD50 intraperitoneal 140 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg oral. Buformin was withdrawn from the market in many countries due to an elevated risk of causing lactic acidosis.

Sample Use Guides

The effects of buformin on cell proliferation were examined in the endometrial cancer cell lines, ECC-1 and Ishikawa. Both cell lines were exposed to varying doses of buformin for 72 hours. Buformin inhibited cell growth in a dosedependent manner in both endometrial cancer cell lines. The mean IC50 value was approximately 150 μM and 8 μM for the ECC-1 and Ishikawa cells at 72 hours, respectively.
