Phenformin Hydrochloride is utilized in studying cellular metabolism and energy production. It affects the function of mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell, by inhibiting complex I of the electron transport chain. This inhibition leads to a decrease in ATP production and an increase in AMP-activated protein kinase activity. Phenformin Hydrochloride is known to activate the LKB1-AMPK pathway, which plays a role in regulating cellular energy homeostasis. It induces apoptosis in certain cancer cell lines by disrupting energy metabolism. Phenformin Hydrochloride is for studying the molecular mechanisms of cellular energy regulation.
