EGR240 (Cat No.: I042517) is a synthetic small-molecule modulator that targets mitochondrial function, specifically enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration. It is often studied for its ability to activate signaling pathways such as PGC-1α, which plays a central role in energy metabolism and cellular adaptation to stress. EGR240 has shown promise in preclinical models for improving metabolic health, combating fatigue, and supporting neuroprotection. It is valuable in research on metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and conditions involving mitochondrial dysfunction or impaired cellular energy production.
