Abstract
Provided are a class of pyrazolone compounds and a use thereof. In particular, a compound represented by formula I is provided, wherein the definition of each variable group is as described in the description. The compounds of formula (I) have a direct AMPK-activating activity and can significantly promote the phosphorylation of AMPK and ACC of L6 myocytes and HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner.
