Biguanide (CAS 56-03-1) is a small-molecule antihyperglycemic agent for research use. It inhibits mitochondrial ATP production, activates the LKB1-AMPK signaling pathway, disrupts cellular energy homeostasis, and enhances insulin receptor signaling. Supplied as a powder with recommended storage conditions for powder and solvent forms.
