AZD7545 (CAS 252017-04-2) is a selective small molecule inhibitor targeting pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 2 (PDHK2) PDHK2 negatively regulates the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) enzyme complex which converts pyruvate to acetyl-CoA By inhibiting PDHK2 AZD7545 enhances PDH activity In biochemical assays AZD7545 shows potent inhibition of PDHK2 with an IC50 of 6 4 nM whereas it demonstrates somewhat lower potency against PDHK1 (IC50 36 8 nM) In vivo studies using Zucker (fa/fa) rats indicate that AZD7545 administration significantly elevates PDH activity in liver skeletal muscle and heart tissues Thus AZD7545 is proposed as a research tool or therapeutic candidate for metabolic disorders including type 2 diabetes
