BAM 15

BAM 15 is an activator of AMPK used in studies of PI3K-Akt-mTOR Signaling and Cell Cycle Regulation and related signaling programs. In practice, this places the compound in experiments that measure growth-factor signaling, survival control, and nutrient-sensing outputs and checkpoint control, mitotic progression, and proliferation timing in apoptosis, autophagy, and cancer models.

By activating AMPK, BAM 15 can be used to examine growth-factor signaling, survival control, and nutrient-sensing outputs and checkpoint control, mitotic progression, and proliferation timing. The kinase annotation adds relevance to biochemical kinase assays, phospho-signaling studies, and selectivity profiling, together with downstream-response mapping in the same experimental setting. In apoptosis, autophagy, and cancer models, these readouts can be combined with viability, reporter, localization, biochemical conversion, or morphology endpoints to refine experimental interpretation.

Research Applications

• Target-focused assays involving AMPK
• Pathway perturbation studies connected to PI3K-Akt-mTOR Signaling and Cell Cycle Regulation and related signaling programs
• Gain-of-function pathway-activation studies
• Biochemical kinase assays, phospho-signaling studies, and selectivity profiling

Overall, BAM 15 is appropriate when a defined chemical perturbant is needed to connect AMPK with measurable biochemical, transcriptional, electrophysiological, imaging, or phenotypic readouts in apoptosis, autophagy, and cancer models. This profile is suited to mechanistic follow-up, comparative profiling, and assay optimization under defined exposure conditions.
