Notes: Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase-1 (FBPase-1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate to fructose-6-phosphate, which is one of the rate-limiting steps in gluconeogenesis. Excess hepatic FBPase-1 activity contributes to hyperglycemia in patients. Thus, the development of specific FBPase-1 inhibitors is of great clinical interest for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes. FBPase-1 inhibitor is a cell-permeable benzoxazolo-sulfonamide compound that blocks human FBPase-1 enzymatic activity with an IC50 value of 3.4 µM (Ki = 1.1 µM) by competing at the AMP allosteric binding site.{30546,30547} It has been shown to block glucose production in rat hepatoma cells that are starved of nutrients with an IC50 value of 6.6 µM.{30546,30547}
