PNU-74654 is a chemical that functions as a potent and selective inhibitor of the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase. It acts by binding to the allosteric site of the enzyme, thereby preventing the conversion of glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate. This inhibition ultimately leads to a decrease in glucose production and release from the liver, which may be useful for studying glycogen metabolism and its regulation. By targeting glycogen phosphorylase, PNU-74654 may be useful for investigate the role of this enzyme in various physiological and pathological conditions. At the molecular level, PNU-74654 disrupts the normal catalytic activity of glycogen phosphorylase, may provide a deeper understanding the regulatory mechanisms of glycogen metabolism. Its mode of action at the cellular level may be useful for understanding the biochemical pathways involved in glucose homeostasis and related metabolic disorders.
