Abstract

Metformin, an oral antihyperglycemic drug that has been in use for over 60 years, remains a first-line therapy for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Numerous studies have suggested that metformin promotes health benefits beyond T2D management, including weight loss, cancer prevention and treatment, and anti-aging, through several proposed mechanistic targets. Here we discuss the established effects of metformin and the progress made in identifying its direct targets. Additionally, we emphasize the importance of elucidating the structural bases of the drug and its direct targets. Ultimately, this review aims to highlight the current state of knowledge regarding metformin and its related emerging discoveries, while also outlining critical future research directions.

二甲双胍在糖尿病及其他疾病中的直接靶点。
二甲双胍是一种口服降糖药,已使用了 60 多年,目前仍是治疗 2 型糖尿病(T2D)的一线药物。大量研究表明,二甲双胍通过几个拟议的机制靶点,促进了 2 型糖尿病治疗以外的健康益处,包括减轻体重、预防和治疗癌症以及抗衰老。在此,我们将讨论二甲双胍的既定作用以及在确定其直接靶点方面取得的进展。此外,我们还强调了阐明该药物及其直接靶点的结构基础的重要性。最终,这篇综述旨在强调二甲双胍及其相关新发现的知识现状,同时也概述了未来的重要研究方向。

期刊介绍: Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism (TEM) stands as a premier Reviews journal in the realms of metabolism and endocrinology. Our commitment is reflected in the publication of refined, concise, and highly impactful articles that delve into cutting-edge topics, encompassing basic, translational, and clinical aspects. From state-of-the-art treatments for endocrine diseases to groundbreaking developments in molecular biology, TEM provides comprehensive coverage. Explore recent advancements in diabetes, endocrine diseases, obesity, neuroendocrinology, immunometabolism, molecular and cellular biology, and a myriad of other areas through our journal. TEM serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, clinicians, lecturers, teachers, and students. Each monthly issue is anchored by Reviews and Opinion articles, with Reviews meticulously chronicling recent and significant developments, often contributed by leading researchers in specific fields. Opinion articles foster debate and hypotheses. Our shorter pieces include Science & Society, shedding light on issues at the intersection of science, society, and policy; Spotlights, which focus on exciting recent developments in the literature, and single-point hypotheses as Forum articles. We wholeheartedly welcome and encourage responses to previously published TEM content in the form of Letters.
