Mimics the effects of fasting and exercise—supports metabolism and mitochondrial research.
OS-01 (also known as O-304), a small-molecule AMPK activator designed for research use.
AMPK serves as the body’s cellular energy sensor, activated during fasting or exercise, and helps cells manage energy production and usage effectively. OS-01 “activates” this pathway in research models to investigate age-related metabolic decline, mitochondrial function, and fat metabolism.
In experimental studies, OS-01 has demonstrated the ability to:
- Promote mitochondrial biogenesis for improved energy production
- Stimulate fat oxidation for optimized lipid metabolism
- Enhance glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity
- Improve metabolic flexibility across various fuel sources
These cellular pathways often decline with age, leading to reduced energy expenditure, increased fat accumulation, and overall metabolic inefficiency. OS-01 has been characterized in research as producing “exercise-like effects without physical activity,” making it a valuable tool for studying caloric restriction mimetics, age-related weight gain, obesity, and mitochondrial function.
