Adiponectin receptor (AdipoR) agonist. Binds to AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 less potent than AdipoRon. Activates 5'-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in cultured mammalian cells. Improves diabetes, glucose and lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity in cultured cells and in mice by AdipoR-dependent mechanisms.
