  • Patent number: 9540325
    Abstract: An N1-cyclic amine-N5-substituted phenyl biguanide derivative of Formula 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a method of manufacturing the same, and a pharmaceutical composition including the biguanide derivative or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient are provided. The biguanide derivatives have an effect of inhibiting cancer cell proliferation and also exhibit anticancer activity including inhibition of cancer metastasis and cancer recurrence, because they are effective in activating AMPK, which is associated with the control of energy metabolism, even when administered in a small dose compared with conventional drugs. Also, the biguanide derivatives are highly effective at lowering blood glucose and lipid concentration by AMPK activation, thus they may be effectively used to treat diabetes mellitus, obesity, hyperlipemia, hypercholesterolemia, fatty liver, coronary artery disease, osteoporosis, polycystic ovary syndrome and metabolic syndrome.
