Dorsomorphin (hydrochloride) is a potent, reversible inhibitor of AMP kinase (AMPK; Ki = 109 nM) that does not exhibit significant activity on structurally related kinases, including ZAPK, SYK, PKCθ, PKA, and JAK3.1 Dorsomorphin can also dose-dependently inhibit the bone morphogenetic protein type 1 receptors ACTR-I (ALK2), BMPR-IA (ALK3), and BMPR-IB (ALK6).2 Independent of AMPK inhibition, dorsomorphin, at 10 μM, has additionally been shown to downregulate the Akt/mTOR pathway to induce autophagy in U251 human glioma cells.3
